Poll Reveals Airlines Should Consider Passengers’ Weight
Jesse Tabit January 12, 2017
A new poll from online travel firm eDreams revealed 39 percent of U.K. travelers believe carriers should factor in passengers’ weight when finalizing luggage allowances. Another poll showed 18 percent of people were “angry” about heavier flyers being given the same amount of luggage as them.
For perspective, numbers from the Health and Social Care Information Centre show 62 percent of adults in England are overweight.

3 words...Can of worms.
So, 39% said yes. What about the other 61%? Seems like a misleading headline...
Oh, sure, that wouldn't slow down boarding too much. Everybody gets on the scale with their luggage one by one before they board? And when I buy a ticket for my three-year-old toddler she gets 180 pounds of luggage allowance? These haters want to punish people for being fat? What about people who are just tall?
