Should They Start.

[TWR]

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?

[Zacs-Master]

"it is Discrimition against passengers, and their weight"
Ok TWR...discrimination by whom?

[Jeza]

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.

[naomi24]

TWR, do you mean that rather than upset their sensibilities, fat people should be allowed to make their fellow travellers' journeys uncomfortable regardless?

[Zacs-Master]

Doc, 50kg allowance in business class. Some people weigh a lot more than that.

[TWR]

What I am saying, I should NOT be paying the same price for persons twice of my 12stone weight. Is that clear enough?

[237SJ]

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.

[naomi24]

TWR, yes thank you. It's clear now - but it wasn't before.

[jno]

you should have to pay extra to be allowed to tilt your seat backwards, too.

[TWR]

237 Incorrect, Weight is a vital issue regards Planes and there take off.

[naomi24]

Should the person behind you get a discount?

[EcclesCake]

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!

[naomi24]

^^ That was to jno.

[Zacs-Master]

God point 237

[doctordb]

Yes sj, the a380. Ha, I thought they were the same. :)

[Jeza]

Agree with that too jno.

[jno]

either way, naomi. My space is encroached on far more often by people lying back than by fat people.

[ludwig]

// you should have to pay extra to be allowed to tilt your seat backwards, too. //

All the airlines are phasing those out apparently as they cause too much aggro between passengers

[naomi24]

Jeza, So should the person behind get a discount?

[naomi24]

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?

[Zacs-Master]

So only the front seat passengers pay full price Naomi? Well, they do have extra leg room generally.
