Woman sparks outrage after claiming skinny people should pay less for flights

A woman has been slammed for suggesting passengers should be weighed alongside their luggage when travelling on airplanes. She explained how she was forced to pay out for an overweight bag - but argued this was unfair because she and her bag weighed less than her friend travelling on the same flight.

Taking to Mumsnet, the woman wrote: "I was charged excess for my hand luggage as it was over a certain weight - that's absolutely fine. The combined total weight for myself and my cabin baggage was approximately 69 kg. My friend wasn't charged because their luggage wasn't overweight - yet the combined total for them and their luggage was over 90kg."
