This would be great but how on earth would we get people to comply? We can't even get people to wear masks in stores right now without throwing a tantrum. Peo

This would be great but how on earth would we get people to comply? We can't even get people to wear masks in stores right now without throwing a tantrum. People would like lie like crazy regarding their weight. Heck, my driver license is 25lbs lower than I currently am.
I guess you could alleviate the embarrassment factor by making it a total passenger + baggage max so people could weigh themselves AND their carryons at home before they arrive to confirm and offset anything.
Interesting idea though!
- avh02 6y agothe same way they enforce baggage requirements. When money's involved, the enforcement will happen. Maybe you buy "x kg plus or minus 5 kg" and they weigh you and penalize/refund if it's changed since buying the ticket.
- majewsky 6y ago> refund Ha, good one.
- TwoHeadedBeast 6y agoNot sure why you're getting the downvotes. If I pay for a 25kg bag instead of 20kg, and I don't use the extra, I definitely do not get a refund.
- Symbiote 6y agoOn tiny planes, like the ones that go between islands in the Pacific, they weigh everyone (with hand baggage) when checking in. This is in order to load the plane evenly.
- jethro_tell 6y agoAbsolutely. They don't have baggage scales there, they have bathroom scales.
- pseingatl 6y agoPassengers are weighed in Samoa.
- torresmo 6y agoInteresting ... weighting yourself could be optional. And if you are below some mark/average, you'd receive a discount voucher for future flight. As a result, this airliner would be attracting lighter/leaner customers, which would save fuel costs.
