Opinion poll

Should airline passengers pay what they weigh?
Yes, it's only fair
No, it discriminates according to your body shape

I agree.

IF you have to pay for excess luggage per pound  !

An International society will have to establish the maximum weight for an Individual .

Yes - passengers should pay by weight
but....the airline must then provide an adequate size seat for that person!

I have sat next to a big person on an airplane and it is not a pleasant experience at all.

along that and BO....air travel can be a nightmare :'(

it is to be hoped then, that the skinny ones will be only made to pay half price.

So for the persons who say yes, what about persons with glandular problems, not all persons who are fat have a choice, it can be a genetic predisposition, or other disorders associated with weight and a poor fat distribution. And is it that, very skinny and  persons will pay less for the average seat? its only fair since overweight persons are paying than persons of average weight...
