\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/9066658/Legal-ruling-could-see-introduction-of-airline-fat-tax.html Judges decided that key elements of Britain’s disability and discrimination laws do not apply once passengers have boarded an aircraft. But both cases were dismissed after the court ruled that the Montreal Convention, a framework of international rules and regulations on air travel, should take precedence over British law.

KD in CA Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Wow, a common sense ruling in Europe?? That's a rare treat. If they charge for baggage being over a certain weight, it stands to reason they should be doing the same thing with passengers. Each person should have to get on a scale with all their bags, regardless of checked or carry on. Every pound over X pays a surcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
