Samoa Air is pricing its first international flights based on the WEIGHTof its passengers and their bags. Depending on the flight, each kilogram (2.2 pounds) costs 93 cents to $1.06. The airline's chief executive, Chris Langton, said on Tuesday that "planes are run by weight and not by seat, and travelers should be educated on this important issue. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weight and that weight needs to be paid. There is no other way."
As I'm a 149 pounder, do I get a discount? Other airlines are thinking about doing the same...so now you really have an added incentive to get some of your lard off!
