    I’ve always felt it should be only fair if airlines gave a combined body weight + baggage weight allowance instead of only bags.

        I can just see the travel tips article telling you to go donate blood and take diuretics before you get weighed for your ticket

        Said by someone who hasn’t thought this through at all.

        People would intentionally dehydrate themselves to save money, it’s dangerous.

          If you’re so poor you have to dehydrate yourself pre flight to save 2kgs of weight you shouldn’t be spending your money on plane tickets.
