This is a bit of an interesting news:
Irish budget airline Ryanair is proposing to charge its overweight passengers a 'fat tax'. It's not the first airline to introduce such measures aimed at obese travelers. Some U.S. airlines already assess extra fees or have policies regarding obese passengers. Like if you're deemed too big by the airline, they'd make you buy an extra seat or upgrade to business class
Ryanair's 'fat tax' idea has garnered broad support on their online poll where an average of 1 in 3 passengers are in favour of the move. Apparently Ryanair claims the 'fat tax' is what its passengers want.
If it's successfully implemented, obese travelers will find themselves subject to a waist measurement check as Ryanair has proposed to assess its 'fat tax' based on one's waistline measurement.
