When airlines started charging for checked bags they said it was to cover the cost of fuel? more luggage = more weight = more fuel burned.
I like this idea. You, your checked luggage, and your carry-on all on a big scale. There's a floating fee based on how much you impact fuel consumption. While tricky to roll out to the public, it seems like the most equitable solution.
