There has been many comments of passengers and their own personal weight, do you think it's fair that a person that weighs 20 stone upwards pays the same as a person weighing from 10 stones up to the mentioned weight?
The last time I was on a plane I was in the middle seat. The big fat guy in the aisle seat asked if he could put the arm rest up as he was squashed. I felt for him but said no. He should have bought two seats.
TWR, do you mean that rather than upset their sensibilities, fat people should be allowed to make their fellow travellers' journeys uncomfortable regardless?
doctorb - do you mean the A380? Emirates don`t have Dreamliners. Incidently weight is very much an issue on Dreamlineers and A380s. Much more than older aircraft.
Why? Because you didn't take heed of the luggage allowance and got miffed when you spotted a salad dodger in the check-in queue who didn't have to pay extra?
Average weights vary from continent to continent, as airlines are global businesses you'll be hard pressed to find a global operator following your thinking!
jno, either way? What sort of answer is that? If people should pay more to recline their seats, surely those inconvenienced are entitled to a reduction?
