Airfares Fatties Pay More
« on: March 25, 2013, 09:42:16 PM »
Just been reading an interesting discussion on whether airlines should consider "Pay by Weight Fares" for passengers and their luggage.

It's a can of worms for sure, but who knows ? Good idea ... or bad idea ? Civil libertarians will have a field day with this one. I can hear the cries of "discrimination" already from the fatties.

The general comments seem to be ... ok ... but we want bigger seats if we are paying more. That's a reasonable expectation for a larger passenger. Just not sure how the airline will provide an aircraft with the right mix of seat sizes.

Airline travel is so normal now, and everyone has tales of bad experiences, often associated with cramped seating, so maybe it's time to investigate alternative fare structures that cater for different size passengers.

Nookie must have worked Airline Customer Relations judging by his diplomacy, tact, and warm personality. 


Unfortunately for me, I couldn't afford to buy business class on my flight from Buriram to DMK.

Paul, don't need the violin, I am on First Class as I cross the pacific from Japan to Dallas and back on AA.  I fly business to Japan between and  back to BKK because JAL does not have 1st on these flights.    But life can be rough for all of us.
