Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Then - discounts for shorties? How about meatheads? When a body builder checks in- also an extra fee? How about tall people?

My point is - draw out this thought further.

For various reason I agree with this in principle - but it needs elaboration.

Airline passenger tickets should be based on the total weight they add to the plane. No additional charges because your personal weight exceeds a limit, no additional charges for an additional bag.

If you are 120lbs with 110lbs of bags, you pay the same as a 230lbs person with no bags.
