I seriously believe that the "weight allowance" should be the sum of your weight, check-in and carry-on baggages. Do the math, that is the total weight of what's on the plane on "your ticket" and correlates to the amount of fuel consumed. I remember getting past the baggage limit by filling my carry-on to the point it was heavier than my check-in (I spent the money I had saved on the back when I went to the doctor the next week).
I'm actually looking at this from the airlines point of view but then again, obesity is not crime and I am sure some fat guy is going to sue the airlines when they implement this.
Could be the solution to the "obesity problem" :-)
- catch23 17y agoIt's actually a good idea. Want to save $10 on your flight? Use my 5-minute ABS program! Then again, if it were a democracy, this idea probably wouldn't fly because there's more fat people than skinny ones in middle america.
- dkersten 17y agoWell, just charge the skinny people less and raise the "normal" price? :-D
- dagw 17y agoMost airlines (at least here in Europe) have set weight limits for your carry on luggage as well now, so that trick doesn't always work. What I have seen done though is someone taking out two jackets from their luggage, filling the pockets of both jackets, and then wearing both jackets through security. That seemed to work fine.
