New Charges for Overweight Passengers on Flights
No, its not a rule yet, but I bet it wont be long.
The other day we bought some flights. Really cheap to start with then.
Had to pay for bags, pre-booking seats, if you paid by credit card and then the page was completely full up with advertising, hotels, cars, insurances etc etc.
On a confirmation email received, it even had adverts for car hire on this too with a button saying book....my husband pressed it to see more information....
You wont beleive it...
It had kept our card details and said congratualtions you have booked your car...now we need to get that back...we dont want it, was just wondering. So be warned.
But it wont be long before Ryanair or Easyjet do charge people by body weight, you can see it coming.
Im sure there will be some human rights law along with it all and protests!
Lets see
What do you think?

I'm sure you are correct. However it depends which side of the fence you come from.
On our last easyjet flight we had to pay €54 excess baggage for 6 kilos. In old money, that is about a stone in weight. I am a fairly trim 11.5 stone man, and taking a look back through the queue, I questioned why my ticket price was the same as some of the passenegers, and why I should have to pay more money for 6 kilos than the flight cost originally.
I can assure you that it would take a lot more fuel to lift them off the ground than it did my 6 kilos of baggage!
Too right. I am pretty heavy and would consider it fair if we paid by total weight. Body + baggage. Of course having paid extra for being a bigger person, that should then entitle you to one of the bigger seats.....fair ?
