What would happen if an airline published their pricing in $/lbs? You'll know your price only after checking in your bags and getting into a plane by stepping through a scale.
First of all, would that be legal? Secondly, how would that affect the consumer behavior and the competition?
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoA lot of the weight on an airplane is fixed, so there would still be a fixed charge to add before weight. I'm also sure many would avoid an airline where weighing in was required, even if that meant paying substantially more to competitors, the airlines wouldn't save enough to make up for lost business.
