On a recent flight I was charged 35 pounds for 5 kg extra luggage. I weight 60 kg. The man before had his full quota of luggage and weighed at least 120 kg but because his luggage was not overweight was, of course, not charged. Is this fair?

• Exactly.
  Fair comes second in busincess to practicality.

• Yes. I am aware of that. But weight is weight. I paid the same amount for my ticket as the man who weighed 120 kg. So our weight allowance should be the same.

• I can only imagine how difficult and time consuming it would be to weigh each and every passenger and their luggage to make sure things are "fair". That would take forever to do for each flight and simply is not practical. Not to mention most people probably wouldn't be too happy about being weighed.

• Will it work: no.
  
  But, as nucleotideboy said, it's not fair, it's life.
