Overweight passengers

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

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.

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.

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

Does tax on food rake in a lot of money for the government? Some things you pay no tax. I'm assuming luxury goods full of sugar and fat are the heaviest taxed? I don't know the figures."

"Here's the thing,,,,, asking larger passengers to pay more will not reduce the space they occupy,,,,

So I don't see a problem charging all passenger the same price,,,

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

Which is the issue that airlines care about.

Oh-c'mon.... the same goes for Taxi's and busses and train companies, coach operators, cruise ships companies,,,,,

That's a very petty argument... "

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

perhaps people only started having babies 500 years ago no? Or perhaps dinosaurs invented algebra? Did a boat load of scousers arrive over during the famine and start stealing stuff? Is that it

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.

"And the wink at the end means it's all just a bit of jolly fun folks

Sadly this!

So it's ok to be an offensive moron if you put a wink at the end???

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 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!

I didn't take the O.P seriously. Don't know why they took the hump .... "

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.

"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 ?

Not really quids in its had to be raised it used to be a lot less lol
