spudgun Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 On a recent holiday the check in staff were really strict with us regarding baggage allowance, wanting it spot on and it got me thinking. There was a lady on holiday who was really overweight. Is it right that she should have the same allowance as me as she was probably carrying 10 plus stone in excess body weight. Should her baggage allowance be reduced accordingly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because such weight is not an option in the way that your hairdryer and personal entertainers are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad they are being strict with baggage, last time I went on a budget airline I checked my baggage, but the amount of people trying to fit everything into handluggage was daft, and the size of some of the hand luggage was clearly oversize.

smithy266 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 A Fat Tax. That's what we want. It was on the tv some months back. Not much of a vote winner though, I am afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
