Airline WEIGHS PASSENGERS Before Flying. Too Heavy for the Plane?

Weighing passengers is embarrassing. I also think that letting Russell sitting on his mother’s lap is very embarrassing as well.

MY BROTHER RUSS IS BACK ON TOTALLY STUDIOS. THANK YOU TS FOR BRINGING BROSKI BACK

Weighing passengers is embarrassing 😳. I think they should do it secretly in an office, not out in public where everyone can see it.

Being weighed at airline would be embarrassing. 😳 Especially if you're overweight.

Someone: How realistic do you want this to be? Them: no

Oh the real... nothing wrong with weighing passengers. Depending on the size of the plane its literally a life and death scenario.

I remember many years ago flying on the puddle jumpers, and at check-in they asked for your weight. I was curious about this, and it was explained to me that for these small planes, even weight distribution of passengers and cargo was critically important. Even though seating was not assigned, I still recall one flight where the pilot needed to have a few passengers switch seats to get a more even weight distribution. But it was all on the honour system, and no one had to step on a scale.

I'm all for it!!! Why should I have to pay an extra 50 bucks if my suitcase is over by a few pounds, but a guy who is 200 lbs heavier than me gets no repercussions?.... weight is weight no matter if it's luggage or a lifetime of poor dietary choices

Did anyone realize that the babies are really dolls😂😂😂😂

Weight and balance is critical in planes. Larger jet planes, not so much, they can usually trim the plane using the fuel tanks. Smaller commuter planes, can be critical to place the weight in the proper places to make sure balance is correct.

The guys look like they are reading the script for the first time ever...

I mean it sounds pretty fun to sit on the scale because they didn’t say you can not bounce on it

This is for safety and has nothing to do with fat shaming. Especially with small aircraft like 4-10 seats that fly like in Alaska. There is a MAX load for the aircraft for take off.

In the early '60s, airlines still weighed passengers.

This is so strange

The pay if too heavy thing is pretty strange. However, some airlines may weigh passengers to come up with the final load of the plane during takeoff so they calculate both speed when taking off and weight distribution. This usually doesn't impact bigger planes and is much more common when boarding smaller planes.

These get weirder and weirder as time goes on. I think in 2045 a title will be "Hovering Triangle unalives 200,000 people, is this a problem?"

3:10 No it's for their "SAFETY". I wish that they really did this because it would help the airline properly seat people so the weight distribution would be safe and if they knew that a person needed a window and if a passenger was in a wheelchair then they could accommodate people better. The only thing that they wouldn't do is make it so people who have SD or Guide Dogs didn't have to book a minimum of 48 hours and wheelchair passengers didn't have to book 48 hours in advance? When it comes to the weights they wouldn't be announced out loud but it would let the airline know how much the bags and passengers would weigh so the plane would not be overloaded. Some planes have crashed because they were overloaded.

No airport weighs passengers like that. I mean, "Can they actually do that?" Is that even legal?

This will literally be Ryanair In 10 Years
