>As a tall man, I hate this stupid point. I can't help the fact that I'm tall. I'm perhaps 10-15kg overweight, but if I go below 110kg, I am unhealthy. I already have to pay more to get a seat that doesn't screw me up - a seat that still doesn't fit me properly. Meanwhile Ms Slight Asian Woman is getting a much more comfortable seat. She's getting a better service for the same price.
Well even you admit that you require a special seat and that "Ms Slight Asian Woman" gets comfortable in a normal seat - so there is a reason for the price difference. Anyway this sort of things are best left to market competition, if it's efficient to charge for baggage more than body weight then the companies or if the decision hurts their image they will figure it out.
- vacri 15y agoI think you missed my point. I am paying extra for a bulkhead seat that still does not fit me as well as a standard seat for the 'light person' - I get a worse service for more money. Then the guy in the article says I should pay even more, simply to appease his sense of misplaced righteousness.
- moonchrome 15y agoI think you put it nicely - you think you're buying a service, this guy is arguing you're buying weight transfer, I would say you're buying seats, and whatever model makes the most sense should be used by the airline company.
