Should obese passengers pay more for their air fare?

Why should we pay extra to take a few more pounds in our luggage when overweight passengers can carry huge amounts and pay the same........

Just a thought.

Oh dear.

If they're so fat that they need 2 seats then they would have to pay for 2 seats but otherwise, no.

They should be made to walk (and swim) to their destination, far better for them and they may also be slim enough for the return flight if they do...

You don't have to worry about the plane tipping to one side. They spread out the fatties to even up the load,like ballast bags.

Passenger and baggage should be weighed together. But then i aso think there should be a width limit for people. Nothing worse than paying for a flight then having the person next to you spilling over your seat.

I worked out roughly 167 days if you could maintain a steady 3mph and didn't stop.

With rest and food breaks I'd guess a year.

Who decides what counts as "too heavy"? What about someone who is 6 foot 6 and the same equivalent fatness as someone who is 5 foot 2?

I'm obese using a BMI chart but I don't encroach on anyone else's space on a plane. I may be heavier and using more fuel but at least I'm not reclining my seat, bringing badly behaved children on board or taking the piss with what can be classified as hand luggage.

They are allowed to sit in emergency exit seats, they're obviously good at pushing their way to the front to grab for food. I can toss those skinny people out the way at a buffet, same applies in the event of a landing over water.

If you can't sit comfortably in your own seat some coach companies will charge you for two seats.

I think this should apply anywhere if your paying for one seat. As for thinking people they should pay the price of a seat even if they don't take it all up as you buy a seat not part of one

Oh on the escape scenarios they found while doing the simulations on evacuations when trying to figure out why so many people died when a plane caught fire and everyone got stuck.

They found in the drill everyone got out fine no problem every time. And they couldn't figure out the problem.

So they said 100 pound (or maybe dolars) to the first 10 out 50 to the next etc.

Next drill everyone pushed and fault and there wars a partition wall separating classes/areas with a door this was never a problem in the normal drills but with everyone pushing it became a bottleneck where they got stuck trying to beat each other through.

And this explained why so many people got stuck there's and died on the plane

Very true. In fact, fat people are saving lives and should be granted hero status and given free flights paid for by a surcharge on the underweight

"Should obese passengers pay more for their air fare?

Why should we pay extra to take a few more pounds in our luggage when overweight passengers can carry huge amounts and pay the same........

Only if skinny people pay less, seems fair to me

But a heavier passenger requires the plane to burn more fuel.

Which is the issue that airlines care about.

Some people look at others and see an easy target but try to distance themselves from the bullying by pretending to use humour I find the best way to deal with insults is take them as compliments I mean if someone insults you then you are in their head

No not really you see a taxi doesn't need that much more fuel to go forward with a weight increase however an aero plane needs to increase thrust to increase lift to counter weight.

That's why they have weight limits etc for baggage.

Loaded vs unloaded the difference in fuel usage is in the tons range.

The airlines use an average weight for passengers though so as someone said the thin people blance out the fat people but the average weight is creeping up which is increasing costs preflight.

And it's a combined weight total so as passenger weight goes up on average baggage and cargo weight capacity comes down. Hence stricter limits on bags now days

I have another idea. All those less than 6'2" or not travelling with someone over that height should be banned from extra legroom seats.

I have to book flights months in advance and when I get to my seat I find some dwarf who just fancied a bit more room.

At 6'7" if I don't have an extra legroom seat I can't fly. Furthermore I am likely to be over whatever weight the airlines come up with.

I'm with you on that one - I hardly ever manage to sit next to my (big tall lanky) husband on planes because there's some short arse bastards, who you have no confidence could actually open the emergency exit if required, in practically all the extra legroom seats.

You would hate me then...

My wife and kids are short, but I've paid £500 for extra legroom seats for the four of us so that I can get the extra legroom. I'm not that tall, but my legs are disproportionately long and I'm not wanting to spend the first and last day of my holiday in pain.

But also I'm not going to fuck off down the other end of the plane on my own.

Is this true? That airplane seat belts don't go round fat people, so when the plane takes off, they all roll to the back and that's why the plane goes tail down when it takes off.

"Is this true? That airplane seat belts don't go round fat people, so when the plane takes off, they all roll to the back and that's why the plane goes tail down when it takes off. "

"Should obese passengers pay more for their air fare?

Why should we pay extra to take a few more pounds in our luggage when overweight passengers can carry huge amounts and pay the same........

Just a thought."

If airlines introduce a fat knacker tax on bigger passengers, do you think the airlines would reduce baggage charges ?

Airlines will take whatever revenue streams they can to maximise profits within their business model.

So it doesn't matter if you are sat next to a 60 kilo person or a 120 kilo person, if you need to take a suitcase with you for a week away cos you must have two new outfits for each day you are away, you will still be paying a baggage fee.

I think I read somewhere that an airline in Fiji or somewhere like that already does.

Brighton - even Hove!

Maybe they could have an airline just for overweighted people so there could be more leg room and wider seats. I guess it's a numbers game though so I don't suppose it would get off the ground

On smaller planes balancing weight is critical

On the planes we go to holiday on, not so much as long as they stay within operational parameters of MTOW

I know the post may have been read as contentious, however, I do see where the OP was coming from.

I've been hit by a charge for having to much hand luggage (weight wise - books) and had to pay a substantial amount.

I myself only weigh about 7.7 stone so did it piss me off? Damn bloody right it did!

Be careful as there is an airline in Alaska is now weighing passengers, you pay an excess if you are over their limit.

I am sure Ryanair or easyjet will follow suit soon enough.

Oh BTW the figure airlines use for "average" passenger weight is 180lb (just under 1st one or about 81kg.

So I weigh just over 15 and the OH about 10, so as we usually travel together, we're under the 'average'

Per person, I'd pay yet as a couple, the airline would be quids in

So using the OPs analogy on the weight balance, where do the comparisons stop ?

Certainly not!

I wasn't offended though. I guess knowing when someone is trolling is key. I think today's aftermath of this has been both amusing and lighthearted considering.

I've no idea either, but it was apparently a news items being discussed today! So they didn't randomly select it.

Really? I would have been put off posting in the forums after the threads gleaned from this one if I was new to them.

I didn't find them funny one bit.

It's been a great thread, full of actual factual information and general piss taking banter.

Top marks Fabbers.

Well I guess you can't please everyone but I thought the bacon banter today has been a lot of fun. Sometimes you just have to ignore the stuff that is posted to knock a rise out of you.

Only I can control how I feel about things and frankly I think someone who posts deliberately to create friction or tension isn't worth getting my knickers in a twist over. I tucked in my extra layer of lard and sat in the space with extra legroom and used the forums for their purpose of wasting my time talking nonsense.
