This may have something to do with airline policy. "The mean BMI for women 20 and older in Samoa in 2009 was 33.8, and for men, 30.5, after standardizing for the country's age distribution—each ranking fourth-highest in the world."
In other news, Samoa Air has been chosen as the preferred airline for the International Fall Fashion Extraganza in Milan, Italy.
Given the sizing of a lot of Samoans, I’m not sure this is going to save them money.
Damn,I ruined it....*does* have a weight problem.Of course that’s from Pulp Fiction.
Sorry - this actually doesn’t solve the issue. The airline is charging more for larger passengers - but they don’t appear to be providing more space for the larger body, unless they have radically changed the configuration of their aircraft.
All this does is make a dent in their fuel costs - it doesn’t address the passenger space allotment at all.
this isn’t gonna end up saving too many people too much. the costs will spread around until the airline is still making the same amount per flight, regardless of weight. if everybody lost weight, the cost per pound would have to rise.

Michael Moore reportedly is not amused.
This will make air travel unaffordable for the average Big Samoan.
