    It’s not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I’m on the internet and you read it

      It’s both, weight starts to become a bigger deal when you factor in that you have to keep it in the air for thousands of km. If airlines could charge people by weight they would in a heartbeat

    This actually makes a lot of sense. It shouldn’t be about fat shaming, but you cant ignore reality and you should make rules based on it. People with normal weight shouldn’t be punished.
