Title: Airbus to trim plane window seat size and widen others
Post by: mhm on April 15, 2013, 08:57:25 AM
Airbus plans to reduce the size of its window seats to make room for wider ones in the aisles.

Those requiring the larger seats would have to pay more for their flight.

Aviation analyst Chris Yates discussed the trend for airlines to vary their charges based on passenger size.

On my "To Do" list, is to raise enough venture capital to start "FatJet" airlines.

The fatter you are, the cheaper the seats.

Graham,
Dropping a few pounds and getting a bit fitter, does not make any allowances for either height or the length of your legs, your going to be 6ft 3in at 20stone or 12..  it would be nice just to fit into one with out paying for an emergency exit seat..   next it will be "we will charge more because your too tall"..!!!     :-\

Cheers,
Slim Jim...   ;D

Don't forget to add a Weighing Machine, weigh the passenger and price the ticket according to his / her weight.
