Randy W Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Will they give a discount if you hold it in your lap the whole way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveandrong Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'm sure I'll catch hell for this post too, but what has always agravated me when getting on and off airplanes is the people who check no luggage and carry it all on. Then when you arrive at your destination, it takes 30 - 45 minutes just to get off the airplane. They want to carry it all on, then let em pay, or let them stay seated until everyone that has no carry on get off the plane first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam and Fen Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I was listening to an article on NPR this morning and some British airline is going to start charging for using the onboard Loo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony n Terrific Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Most of the airlines will follow suit. Oil has been rising rapidly again. Oil is up $86+ today. Nearly double what it was a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 That is very true about oil. But we have more oil right here in America than any other Country. Our wonderful governmnet just doesn't want to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpedbored Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I believe congress is considering legislation to stop airlines from charging for carry on luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpedbored Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I believe congress is considering legislation to stop airlines from charging for carry on luggage. I found this in the news page on Google. On Wednesday, Schumer introduced a bill that would amend the tax code to eliminate a loophole that he and four other senators say allows airlines to avoid taxes on certain fees. That effort came a day after two other senators put forward a bill that would change how the Federal Aviation Administration regulates carry-on baggage fees.http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/04/18/carry.on.fees/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
