Not everybody checks bags tho

Everybody has at least some kind of carry-on. And if not, it would at least be cheaper.

But the things that are priced when overweight are only checked bags, no? Or also carry on bags?

Right now, yeah. But things could change if they’re considering weighing passengers. It makes sense to charge a fixed price for the staff, time, seat, and booking, and a variable price for the fuel (based on mass, distance, wind, and current fuel costs).

Some passengers might have double my mass and should pay more. Children could cost a bit less this way too.
