Don't feed them onboard for a start.

This report was mentioned the other day on Stuff too. I've always thought it somewhat ridiculous that a 85 kg person can only have 20 kgs of check-in (or 30 in business) and a 120 kg person can have the exactly the same. Even more ridiculous, is having to take out say 2 kgs from your check-in because you're over, then their allowing you to put it in your carry-on. What's the point!

Changes to the bullshit around luggage allowances are well overdue, never to speak of what to do with the fat people. Those chairs aren't getting any bigger, but nearly half the people sitting in them are, so something has to give.

Ryan Air are clearly leveraging this to turn a coin, as I imagine things are tight in the airline business right now, but charging for bog roll is going a little too far, I suspect.
