Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Very well known “fat-tax” will have a new proud airline. You may need to pay a little extra if you’re slightly over weight. Air France – KLM combination is the newest airline who charges from the over-weighted passengers. Ryanair tried it a while ago but then dropped the idea but who knows when the plans are on the table again. Of course there are other airlines as well who does it, Finnair for example. In their opinion, that is just a normal procedure, to raise funds for the skinnier people, I guess.

Ok, I’ll get the point…

    That’s right Brian, but unfortunately it seems to be a common strategy for all airlines, whether is it announced or not.
