As long as my two kids get me a significant discount, no problem. Both of them combined don’t weigh half of what an average adult female weighs, much less a male. Should just about round us back to even.

You bring up an interesting point. A weight based fare schedule might be a loser for airlines during the summer vacation season if big families start filling seats with little kids

I think I will start writing a new book. The Going to be Flying in Two Weeks Crash Diet.Maybe need to think of a title without the word "Crash" in it....

Knowing the way the airlines work, it will be an archane, “dynamic” pricing voodoo that will be impenetrable to the average person and always jack their fare up, never down.

One other thing, currently they bump based on “fare codes” with cheap seats getting bumped for more expensive ones. Want to bet they would start doing the same based on total $$$ ie the skinny woman gets left at the gate and the whale gets wedged onboard?
