Then why don't we also pay be weight? I'd love to be able to pack an extra 20kg in my bag as I weigh at least 20kg less than the average male.
Because that would be discrimination. Otherwise they absolutely would do it lol
That's my whole point. If you're gonna ask the airlines to give different amounts of space for different sized people, don't expect your tickets to stay the same price.
The current system is that the ticket prices are the same (price fluctuations happen but not based on the size of the passenger), and that everyone of a particular fare class gets the same sized seat.
