Topic Reading-Vol.1660-10/27/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Should obese passengers pay more to fly?
This isn’t a new topic but it’s still worth checking. There are so many extraordinarily over-sized and over-weighted passengers on flights these days that cause inconvenience to both airlines and fellow passengers on board.
What should and can airlines do to deal with increasing number of passengers who can’t fit regular seats or physically bother other passengers? How much does extraordinary extra weight cost to airlines compared to standard passengers? Is it fair to charge the same fare to passengers of normal weight and over weighted? If there is a human right issue, how does it apply to those who are squeezed by the passenger in the next seat? While excess baggage is charged extra fee by weight, passengers are charged by the seat class. How does this sound?
Airfare by weight is a highly controversial topic, isn’t it?
Enjoy reading and thinking what is acceptable to both normal and over weight passengers.
