Yup, they are trying to save gas. I just spent over an hour and a half on the tarmac at ATL today and they only had air on every few minutes "to save fuel". grrrrr.

One of my best friends from college works for United, and it's not pretty. It's also going to get worse before it gets better, kids.

If any of you HAVE to fly somewhere for Christmas, get your tix now. I just got $325 for NYC-NOLA, FL-NYC for the second half of December. Best deal ever.

delta just doubled the fee on second bag to $50, as well as increasing fees for third bag, weight bags and special handling items.

Thanks for the heads up. I just booked my Christmas ticket. I got $250 for Atlanta to West Palm Beach which is actually a really good price for holiday travel.
