Some people get off on being nasty. I ignore it mostly because its nearly always an online thing.

They could surely just ask for an approx. weight on booking? Most are done online these days so it would be semi-anonymous... I doubt they need exact weights? Actually weighing people as they get on like cattle seems ridiculous.

I do agree with banning alcohol though. Last flight I was on, there was a group of loud arseholes downing cans and when the trolley guy cut them off they got quite abusive.

the freight/luggage distribution is far more important than passenger weight. I mean 95% of all passengers fit within a particular weight profile, and it takes no account of queuing for the loo etc mid flight.

It's quite clearly being introduced to increase flight costs at some point. There is no other reason.

agree we have been flying around for decades with no issues, in fact people travel with a lot less luggage now as well, so can't see why it needs implementing.

Considering the fact that we go through somewhat intrusive security checks, I'm not really concerned about being weighed.

I really don't see the issue with asking someone who needs two seats to pay for two seats.

I agree with Vicky about medical conditions. Medication for certain illnesses such as pituitary gland tumours can cause massive obesity problems.
