ahh apologies, scrap the BMI idea then. Maybe there should be some sort of general fitness test then. A 100m sprint to the check in desk ( think a lot of people already doing that anyway), or a specially designed frame like the one you put you hand luggage in and if it fits the dimensions you can take it/yourself on board. Alternatively, anyone flying from Bristol must have seen the wizzy cling film machine that wraps your luggage in cling film for about £4.50 and this apparently deters ...

We could shrink wrap our larger friends in that, thereby containing the overflow and probably helping then sweat off a few pounds during the flight. Everyone's happy!

I see a flaw in your idea Kaz. What happens when someone gets stuck in one of the new frames. I have a vision of fatties walking round the airport with these frames stuck on them. How many will the airports supply I wonder. Mass tailbacks to the airport I think. There must be a way.
How about having a dedicated section on all aircrafts just for obese people (and they have to pay extra for the extra wide seats)? Then again that may destabilise the aircraft! Best to spread the load evenly by having a few obese seats carefully spread throughout the aircraft. That way everyone is happy i.e. the obese people get wider seats and don't have to worry about feeling guilty for spilling over into other peoples seats and the not obese people don't have to worry about having an ...

Should maybe be done on width, waist size - also those with a medical condition and proof that this is the cause for being fat should then be allowed off the extra charges
Obviously the weighing procedures should be ignored for the return trip as their are several of us that tend to catch the usual holiday illnesses, such as "beeritis" and that famous Italian disease "noshalotus"
