I am under 10 stone and can have included in my ticket a 20kg bag but if I want a heaver bag then I have to pay more. Yet some 20 stone person can have the same 20kg baggage as me.
Yep I have often thought the same, I'm not a big chap myself (been trying to lose a bit of weight) 12st 4Ib, I seen some monsters in this country and in the USA on planes. One chap on an internal flight from St Louis to Chicago must of been in the 30 mark and someone had to move seats for him because he could not get between the seats to sit down he ended up sitting by the front emergency exit. If the plane was on fire you would not want him blocking the exit. Just picturing him now he could have been more than 30 stone. he certainly struggle walking. Actually I felt sorry for him, I guess not all weight issue are from gluttony.
