They provide space for it which is limited and paying fuel to transport it. There usually is more demand them overhead space as well, so charging for it actually solves an allocation problem just like charging for parking does.
- paxys 1y agoThen charge passengers by weight. If a 6kg bag commands €80 extra then why should a 50kg passenger pay the same as a 150kg one?
- userbinator 1y agoI think they should do that, or something similar to what courier services use: a combination of weight and volume. It's common for kids under a certain age to already be charged less.
- ajmurmann 1y agoI believe that's illegal but might be mistaken. From an ethical perspective is also nothing the passenger can easily control
- dheera 1y agoThe delta between the typical obese person and my weight is much more than the typical weight of my carry-on bag. There is zero reason to charge for the carry-on bag if you don't also charge the obese person.
- johnisgood 1y agoPrecisely. What is up with the obese requiring 2 seats? Do they pay 2x the ticket or not? I need up to date information.
