I go to Spain often doing track days. I like to take my gear ,leathers,lid,etc in a suitcase which I have to pay roughly £40 pounds each way. Now I weigh 67 kilo and my case must not be over 20 kilo,yet i often see people who's left leg weighs more than my case. Wouldn't it be fairer if you payed for a combined weight,i.e passenger and luggage? Thoughts please

Totally agree. When you have to pay by the kilo for baggage, it does seem very unfair if someone tiny pays the same seat price as someone twice their weight!

Seems sensible. I don't have a problem confirming the combined weight of me and my bags. Additionally, I fly weekly and it bugs me that i need to pay £44 for a small carry on size bag just because I can only take a laptop case into the cabin. I could comfortably take both into the cabin and save myself the money.

I get that the airline needs to ensure they balance the aircraft with the right amount of fuel and all that.. It's a conundrum that they really need to figure out. I understand that in general airlines still consider the average weight of a passenger the same as back in the 60/70's... we all know on average people are much heavier now!

Imagine the queue for checking in when you have to stand on the scales as well

And the alarm going off if you’re overweight

Nope.

Short people should have less weight allowance.

2 pairs of my shoes pretty much make the weight allowance alone.

You should also be given smaller meals and less priority for drinks.

And you all smell.

Trying not to turn this into an obese bashing thread, but having done a fair bit of flying lately I'm getting a bit of thing for large people having their fat go onto my side of the seat......

The budget airline's obsession with weight is as much to decrease turnaround times as it is to minimise fuel consumption.

On a similar but slightly (!) parallel topic, if I buy a 2 week package holiday, why do I get the same weight allowance as a 1 week package? I need more clothes....plus if I do go on a 2 week break I’m likely to weigh more coming home than if I go on a one week trip. Should I pay more, and if so can I use some of my extra allowance (see above) to negate the extra weight I am?
