I can just see the travel tips article telling you to go donate blood and take diuretics before you get weighed for your ticket

I can see a class action lawsuit if they ever switch to that. And I imagine there wouldn’t be that risk if airlines had priced their tickets based on weight from the very start back in the Roaring Twenties.

Said by someone who hasn’t thought this through at all.

People would intentionally dehydrate themselves to save money, it’s dangerous.

If you’re so poor you have to dehydrate yourself pre flight to save 2kgs of weight you shouldn’t be spending your money on plane tickets.

It’s not that they necessarily have to, some people will anyway to save a buck. And then you’re just incentivising dangerous behavior.

that’s amazing! I wonder why children got a further discount. I wonder if it’s a coincidence they are no longer flying.
