The Reason for a Pre Holiday Diet?

From yesterday's Guardian.

Still not sure as to whether it's a wind up or not.

It's not. was on the news this morning. More a P.R. stunt I think. Apparently Samoa has a huge obesity problem.

(although I will be making a redoubled effort in my holiday diet just in case it gives other folks ideas :w )

So what happens if you weigh less at check-in? Do you get a refund?

Samoa Air planes are also tiny.
