The Carry-On Crisis
How 'bout that flight. Idiots slapping you with their bags in the aisles.
Overhead bins crammed to the limit. More idiots smashing your bags to squeeze theirs into the bin. People whining and bitching that there's no more room. Why don't they just put more seats and overheads in the planes cargo hold? Aren't these baggage fees wonderful? |

Aren't these baggage fees wonderful? Just wait until the XMAS travel season. Far fewer flights, much higher fares, and people won't want to pay the $15 to check luggage. This will be the first major travel season with the luggage fees. If everyone brings a roller-board size carry-on then the flight attendants will be do a lot of baggage checking right at the gate, and that will all be fee-free. |

I think Thanksgiving week will givew us he first clue. If everyone brings a roller-board size carry-on then the flight attendants will be do a lot of baggage checking right at the gate, and that will all be fee-free. That's a good idea. We'll have to see what happens when that process starts delaying departures. |

They like to use the hold for cargo, as this can be a money maker for them. Aren't these baggage fees wonderful? Yes and no. Don't mind it on G9, as there low $29 one way fares make up for it. Also don't mind it on DL, as I think they allow you to check one bag for free. Of course if I flied WN more than once every 15 years I would really like them. Michael |

Also don't mind it on DL, as I think they allow you to check one bag for free. I guess I spoke too soon, as I just read the following. "Atlanta-based Delta says that effective immediately, for traffic on or after Dec. 5, customers flying within the U.S. will be charged $15 for the first checked bag and $25 for the second checked bag when traveling domestically, consistent with Northwest's existing policies." Makes it sound like everyone has to pay this fee, regardless of when you booked your ticket. Michael |
