Increasingly I think we are going insane as a society. The worship of profit is our real religion, and it is consuming us.
The Navigator: Fee-happy Airlines Raise the Bar Again
CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT – The Washington Post
EXTRACT:
Not to be outdone, Frontier Airlines announced that for tickets booked anywhere except on its Web site, it would raise its luggage charges and impose a fee of up to $100 for certain carry-on bags, the third U.S. carrier to do this. Most economy-class passengers will also have to pay $1.99 for coffee, tea, soda and juice.
You read correctly: That fee is for a carry-on bag, not a checked bag.
