UAE in world’s top 5 'heaviest' nations - Emirates 24/7 (http://www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/uae-in-world-s-top-5-heaviest-nations-2012-07-04-1.465700)
EK will never change the standard weights, but something to think about when you are given just 3% contingency fuel, especially on ULR's
Average American weighs 82kg, plus a realistic extra 10+ kgs worth of carry on and duty free. Maybe a walk through the cabin before ZFW calculations to take a look at the demographics... lol
+7kg (extra phantom weight per passenger) * 358 (passengers on a 3-class 300ER) = +2.5 tons of phantom weight
