Re: Weight of passengers
> carriers should use actual weights rather than averages
I think that was specifically for these very small aeroplanes. I've been weighed on flights in the far North where you are wearing half of an REI store. It's done very discreetly so you don't see the actual number.
I don't imagine actual weight difference of 300 passengers on a 575 ton A380 makes that much difference.
Although I do think it is unfair that you get charged $1M/kg for overweight bags full of kit when Jabba the Hut's big brother is allowed to overflow into 3 seats for free.
