Wish I could buy diesel at that price! It's not 55 cents it's a 90 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a research how many tons of kerosin get released worldwide before every landing and then tell us again that the airlines want to save fuel. What a load of S*$T. Commercial passenger jets Do Not routinely dump fuel before landing. Some need to dump fuel in an emergency to reduce the weight to the maximum allowable landing weight, most wide body long range aircraft have fuel dump systems(A380,A350,A330,B787,B777) Most narrow body, single isle aircraft do not have fuel dump systems Do some more research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't typically check in luggage, so no it does not get weighed, but either way - we're talking about weighing your luggage vs weighing you...
