Did you see the scale for that place in Vegas posted here that's how lolHow do you even regulate a fat person buying two seats?
Will they pull a model seat out and weigh you when you're checking in your bags?

This is actually insane. I wish there was context (empty plane, video filming, etc.). I know the takeoff video was a joke but airlines actually do sometimes ask folks to move on non-full planes for more equal weight distribution. That would probably come into play here if the plane isn't sold out but more so for passenger comfort
Airlines have a lot of underhanded pricing strategies but charging based on weight will not be one of them (in reality this is a width discussion too but I digress).
Only a matter of time.
Greyhound and Amtrak are watching closely.
Smaller seats = More seats per plane, train, or bus = lower cost per seat
Larger seats = Fewer seats per plane, train, or bus = higher cost per seat
It all comes down to revenue.
Are smaller folks willing to pay more to travel so that larger folks can be comfortable?

Either way, "Pay like you weigh" is taking on a whole new meaning.
Buying one seat with 50% off the adjacent seat seems to be a workable compromise for the industry and larger customers...at least in my mind.
You have the right idea econmically but "smaller" seats isn't necessarily the answer. I guess it starts with what you mean by "smaller" because this seems to be a seat width issue with overweight folks spilling into the next seat.
as a man who is fit and been fit his whole life, i don't wish fatties had more expensive health insurance. i just wish my insurance was cheaper. like there should be discount incentives or somethingF it. Why stop there. Bigger you are the more your health insurance costs
