How it works: Adds the upfront airline fee to the estimated cost of additional fuel burned to carry the extra weight over your flight distance.
Worked Example
The Weight of Flying
Every extra kilogram on an aircraft requires additional fuel to overcome gravity and drag.
- Lighter luggage directly translates to a lower carbon footprint.
- Aviation fuel costs are passed down to passengers through fees and surcharges.
- Modern aircraft are designed to be extremely sensitive to weight distribution.
Traveling light is the best way to save money and reduce emissions.
