No April Fool's Joke: Samoa Air Charges Passengers By Weight

OK, we've checked the date, and it's April 2, but this story from the Pacific island nation of Samoa left us scratching our heads: Samoa Air says it's charging passengers based on what they weigh.

"We at Samoa Air are keeping airfares fair, by charging our passengers only for what they weigh," the airline says on its website. "You are the master of your Air'fair,' you decide how much (or little) your ticket will cost. No more exorbitant excess baggage fees, or being charged for baggage you may not carry.

What if you're just a really tall person with a bigger bone structure? Or an athlete with a bigger build? Muscle does weigh more than fat. There's nothing fair about this Nanny State BS what so ever.

If you are traveling with your family and are over weight, you'll send the children a lean nanny and maybe your light weight spouse with Samoa Air and travel yourself by other means. On the other hand, if you all are over weight, it's a good news because then you don't fly and will avoid the TSA groping you and your spouse and molesting the children.

Good point Less ;) I haven't flown in years and thankfully so.
