I've been saying this for years.

If you have someone who is 14 stone, but their suitcase is 5kg over, why make them pay extra? As someone who is 19 stone flying with an empty suitcase is still far heavier.

Also, in a similar context, some people could put on a stone whilst on holiday in theory, thus adding to the take off weight..but a bag increasing by the same amount? £££

How about they weigh you as you go in and again as you leave and base the price on that?

I would hope they weigh me after I’ve done big toilets or that will likely add an extra £50 on the flight cost.

Legend has it, a waiter once said to a very large chap who had been eating for a long time in one of these places.

Well that’s a good deal then for me & Hubbie 🙊💰
As we are both normal weight, at least at the start of our holiday 🤦🙄 but give us a buffet & we go above & beyond what our stomachs can hold
Used to love a Golden Corral, Hubbie always starts with fruit to make himself feel better
Where else can you have Candy Floss & chocolate fountain for breakfast🤪🤪🤪

I always remember my experience in a Golden Corral with adults and kids actually touching the buffet food and the table and floor being sticky, but fortunately I never had to use the toilet😀
