Not to add to anyone's travel anxieties, but an airline has said that it would now begin to weigh its customers before boarding.
Finnish airline Finnair has announced their plans to have weigh ins for February, April and May of this year.
This began after the viral footage of one passenger from a different airline who was asked to step on the same scales which are used to weigh heavy bags!
Flight balance estimates require airlines to know the 'weight of the aircraft itself and the weight of fuel, checked baggage and cargo, onboard catering, water tanks, and of course customers.
One passenger also claimed that the weigh-in rules' are not about passenger safety' as 'no airplane has ever crashed because of overweight passengers'.
Before it was removed, a video of the incident that had been uploaded to TikTok in March received almost1.6 million views.
Since the viral video was posted, Finnair has used a different approach for weighing their passengers and has announced that they will only do so on a voluntary basis!
