        Agreed. This makes more sense than charging for checked bags. Charge for the thing you want to discourage, and it's the carry-ons that slow things down.

        Remember when baggage fees were implemented because fuel prices were so high and the poor airlines couldn’t manage their finances? They promised they were temporary and yet all these years later they’re still here and going up.

        The airlines are tantamount to an unregulated monopoly. Who is surprised that they raise rates willy nilly?

        I hate US airlines. Every damn one of them. Can’t wait to retire and move to where the rest of my family is. I may never fly again after that.

        Time to allow foreign airlines carry passengers between American cities. Protecting American carriers from competition means inflating American prices and reducing consumers’ choices.

        Peoples of Minnesota! If elected I will regulate these airlines! These monopolies must be put in their place and I won't take their campaign monies! Unlike @TinaSmithMN who has them in her back pocket! #ShaquandaforSenate Can I count on your support this November?

        With sooo many other carriers in the world vying for our business that have great rates and fabulous service and good food and drink, and all the “old pleasures of flying” that doesn’t seem like a good idea.
