Re: Charging passengers by weight
On reclining: it is not acceptable to jab my mrs in the head with your fingers and demand it be put upright because there isn't enough room...for your 5/6 year old...not even when eating...

" However, a survey by the Skyscanner website last year revealed 80 per cent of UK passengers were against the idea of losing space to accommodate overweight travellers. "
Unless the price (for normal seats) was slashed by a considerable amount , which it won't be, the normal seat passengers are effectively sacrificing for the wide passengers and the airlines' increased bottom line.

If a seat is 25 inches wide and you lose 1 inch then surely a 25th discount is fair?
Haven't they been getting bigger for years anyway?

Never paid attention to an Airlines's exact seat width, just know it is already cramped.

London calling.............
Someone on the BBC has just suggested that the next step will be charging more for disabled passengers........ well, they do cause more work for the crew after all, don't they..........?

Current seat, let's say is 20inches wide.
In the set of three, they're saying they will be 19 / 22 / 19 - or thereabouts?
Whilst other parts of the row will remain 20/20/20 etc.
To me, this means if a ticket costs 100 quid then in the three seats that have changed it should be:
95 quid / 110 quid / 95 quid. Still equals 300 and everyone pays their far share....

We still haven't sorted out the check-in issue..........
Separate queues for 'slim', 'medium' and 'fat' people............ fantastic!
"Oi! Fatso! You're in the wrong queue!"

Oh yeah, I'd love a bit more room, but if I understand correctly:
