Passengers allegedly weighed..

Recommended Posts

Two businessmen have filed official complaints against Hawaiian Airlines after they were allegedly weighed before they were allowed to board a flight with the carrier.

Instead of allowing its customers to pre-select seats for flights between Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Honolulu, the US carrier, it was allegedly, recently ran a policy of weighing passengers before they were allocated seats.

The airline claims that the policy was designed to help distribute weight across the cabin and address a safety issue.

Well, the above certainly have legitimate safety intentions, I guess.

On a flight recently to Vietnam, passengers are reminded to be seated at their own seats and not to group up on one side to ensure there is a weight balance on the aircraft.

This is because a particularly chatting group of (8 of them) passengers begins to bunched together on the right side rows of seats apparently discussing their trip with the trip leader who was seated there. This left a void on the left sittings but a packed right.

 

Good to know.
