Why do you find it offensive that someone, who weighs possibly 50% more than someone else, and that is not directed at you, should have to pay more to the airline. You rightly say that its for fuel, but there had to be a suggested body weight to start with so if any body can come up with this figure, it would certainly enlighten the topic Or are we getting too serious 
because the plane can only carry so much weight so to make it fair theres a upper limit on peoples weight and baggage weight but its not as suggested by the thread starter mixed together, as i said b4 my husbands auntie was asked to pay for two seats as she was over the weight limit, if she went on the plane that ment 1 less person could fly so she had 2 pay for that space and its the same with baggage, seems fair enough to me, its not about punishing people its about plane flights being a buisness and they are there to make money
but one child on the plane would counteract her weight, wheres fair?? Sounds like an excuse to me... Some are overaverage (like me, I am not fat just big), others under average. An airplane is filled with them all so it should even out...
The excess baggage charge is NOT because of the weight limit a plane can carry, after all if a plane is overweight it doent matter if the airline charges £1million the plane still wont fly!
The charge is because the 'excess baggage'/weight means that the plane flight is less ecconomical, more fuel is used so they pass that cost on.
As a 'larger' guy i find the insinuation that bigger people should have to pay more to be offensive, as Calista said earlier we went to the US last year and had no probs with baggage, and as T&H said the spread of passengers will even things out.

I started out reading this light heartedly and now I'm not so sure.
You're given a weight limit for luggage and despite having two kids and being "fatties" our luggae was still well under when we flew last year!!
Why punish others for an ability to pack sensibly????

I wonder if anybody else has had this done to them. Went to Zante with the g/f flying First Choice out of Manchester. Allowance 20kg each. My case 21kg, hers 24kg , charged £16 excess baggage, no option but to pay. (Need to buy better bathroom scales)
Point of topic. I weigh in @ 13st and the g/f @ 9st, giving total of 22st. The amount of our fellow passengers, who singularly, were this weight ,without their baggage, was amazing. Realisticly, should they be charged e/b or their baggage allowance reduced
Not looking to offend, but would like fairness.

Hi bather. I have been to BSC or Hamshaws as its now called a few times now. Each visit has been different so take it as you find it. Bloody great spa, seats 20+, same with sauna and steam room. Not many around during the day but constant change of faces.
Friends have been on party nites and had a great time. Staff friendly esp Angie, but watch out for the hairy guy. Hates mobiles with a vengence. Shouted blue murder at one guy the other day, seems to have lost the plot on customer PR.
Have a good time.
