Reply to comment by Khaylain in Airlines charge you extra per kilo of luggage but not extra per kilo of human. by LouSayners

I think you’re right, in general, about the effect of one person’s weight, but I was on a weirdly empty cross Atlantic flight and they reassigned everyone’s seats and told us we couldn’t move until after takeoff because they needed the plane to be balanced.

Well, that's the difference between an empty flight and a mostly full flight. The more people the less difference one person makes. The less people, the more difference one person makes.

Absolutely. Wasn’t trying to disagree, just thought I’d share my weird experience where it did matter.
