SYDNEY (Reuters) - Should airlines charge overweight passengers if they need an extra seat? Yes, according to three-fourths of the travelers surveyed in a poll sondeo.Un online travel site Skyscanner (www.skyscanner.net) found that 76 percent of people believe that airlines should charge a "fat tax ". Only 22 percent of the 550 people surveyed disapproved of the creation of an extra payment for customers with sobrepeso.La survey was conducted after a heated debate that began after it released a report earlier this month mistaken about that Air France was planning an additional charge to passengers who do not fall into a seat normal.Desde 2005, Air France offers overweight passengers the option of purchasing a second seat with 25 percent of descuento.Uno founder of Skyscanner , Barry Smith, said the so-called "fat tax" is a very sensitive issue for airlines to be treated with care not to alienate heavier passengers. "On the one hand, is unreasonable for airlines to charge passengers more if they occupy more than one seat. On the other hand, many say it should be the responsibility of airlines to adjust their normal-sized seats, allowing den amenities to accommodate all passengers, "he said in a comunicado.Algunos of respondents in the survey said it is the responsibility of airlines to ensure you have seats for all shapes and sizes of the passengers, while others suggest that the charge should be calculated according to passenger weight plus its equipaje.En United States, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines have a policy in which if overweight passengers need to buy a second seat, POSE demand their return if not ocupado.La Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the obese and disabled people who travel on planes can not be forced to buy a second seat.
