The tickets for passengers in airplanes should be rated based in the the personal weight for each user. It’s crazy the way the tickets are priced and it leads to some unffair ticket rates.

There’s a set of rules giving some justice, but it falls short. For example: Every user who is carring more luggage has to pay an extra fee. And that is ok, we all accept this as a matter of fact. And you feel comfortable with this, right? Then, you board the plane, you take your place aboard and you will note that passengers come in every thinkable size and weight. But wait a second!. The passenger next to you is much more taller. And oh my gosh!! there are passengers weighting much more than you. Why if you’re a person with less the half fat than the passsenger next to you, you are expected to pay the same for ticket?. Something is wrong.

Another crack in the wall: Kiddos can get discounts for air traveling. Babies and childs do get cheaper rates because it is expected they weight far less than an adult. And viceverza if you as an adult have some extra size an extra fee is applied. But this basic system shoud be extended as to reach the precise ticket rate for every user.

Weight is a little bit important, perhaps is that important that each luggage has to be sized, pound by pound. The cargo in a plane is a very important parameter and each time the plane is going to take off, the cargo is evaluated as to give the engines the right power. And also the weight is important when fuel is loaded into the plane. If those pounds are that important, then your ticket should be assigned the fare amount of dollars.

So, the time has come for us users to ask the airlines to assign fees based on the total weight for each passenger. More pounds, more dollars, less pounds, cheaper fee. This includes two numbers: the weight of the luggage and the personal weight. Big people may not agree, bout can you imagine a full year of healthy food that leads directly in havig better shape and also cheaper rates for your next christmas traveling?.

    Yeah! and, you know what? there’s some girls who should be weighted in their popping parts, at least I knew a few who shurely wouldn’t travel at all!
