A survey from Deloitte suggests nearly 40% of us think airlines should take a passenger鈥檚 weight into consideration when setting luggage allowances.

Also, 18% of adults feel 鈥榓ngry鈥� that heavier people are entitled to the same baggage limit according to the poll.

Two people who have opposing views on the debate are journalist Julia Stephenson and Body Positivity Advocate Marsha Coupe.

Marsha told 5 live Drive she thinks the idea is 鈥渄isrespectful.鈥�

鈥淲e really are becoming an intolerant society, to dish out this kind of disrespect is frankly demeaning.鈥�

However, Julia thinks it鈥檚 a good idea and says 鈥渁 kilo is a kilo, whether it鈥檚 a kilo of excess baggage or a kilo of body weight.鈥�

鈥淭he heavier the plane weighs the more fuel costs the airline must pay.鈥�
