Weight Reduction Strategies

Thromby Air charges you for your ticket based on your weight. Here are some handy tips for reducing your ticket cost.

  1. Shave before you fly. Everywhere.
  2. Do not eat for 48 hours prior to checkin. Vending machines are available after ticket weigh-in (prices as marked).
  3. Eliminate all body waste prior to checkin. Common sense, really.
  4. Breathe helium prior to weigh-in.
The boys from the Plane Crazy Downunder podcast (PCDU) demonstrate shaving to minimise weight, to save on their air ticket price.

Aviation podcasting celebrities Steve and Grant from the "Plane Crazy Down Under" podcast agreed* to pose for this photo, highlighting that close shaves are not always a bad thing in aviation.

* Our lawyers coerced them after they suggested that Thromby increased freedom of choice in aviation in the same way that Typhoid increased freedom of health. Also, we tricked them into thinking that Thromby has flights from Australia to Oshkosh in the USA which, of course, is not true. Some people will never learn. Visit Steve Visscher and Grant McHerron at their podcast website www.planecrazydownunder.com to learn about aviation in the Australia/Pacific region, and to make sure that they don’t say anything nasty again about Thromby Air.
