You're charging me for what?! Airline fees way up since January 1

Now that's a good point about lost luggage. I do believe that if an airline lost my luggage, I would demand a refund of that fee.

I guess we are going to start paying for the bags of peanuts and pretzels too.

Some airlines (many of the smaller, short haul regional ones) are already doing that.

Some carries even took away pillows.

Shows you how much I fly. That is just wrong.

American has been doing that for a while. Last time I flew American (a few months ago), they offered peanuts at $2/bag, snack packs at $4 or $5, and a sandwich for maybe $10? - on a 4-hour flight! (The guy sitting next to me bought the sandwich, and it was pretty tired-looking.)

Any day now, they're going to start charging for soda and other non-alcoholic drinks...
