Samoan airline boss defends charging passengers by weight


The head of Samoa Air has defended the airline’s decision to start charging passengers according to their weight.

Chris Langton told Australia’s ABC Radio that it was “the fairest way of travelling”.

Rather than pay for a seat, passengers pay a fixed price per kilogram, which varies depending on the route length.

Air Samoa’s rates range from $1 (65p) to around $4.16 per kilogram. Passengers pay for the combined weight of themselves and their baggage.

I am in total agreement with Mr Langton and Air Samoa, good for them.

Hopefully this policy proves a big success and other airlines will adopt it, and hopefully this will teach fat people to control themselves around food, otherwise: no holiday for you.
