No surprise, but some in the airline industry are considering charging people more if they are heavy:
American now charges $15 for one checked bag; Delta charges $25 for a phone reservation. Since record high fuel prices are a big part of the problem, some airlines have been looking to boost fuel efficiency, too, by eliminating extra weight. Could the next step be fares based on a person's size?
Not a big deal to me, even though at 220 pounds (give or take) I'm sure I'd have to pay more. No big deal, that is, if I also get a more spacious seat than the usual little one I have to jam my huge frame into. Something tells me that no one thought of that, though.
