Airline Passengers Face Even More Fees

Airline Passengers Face Even More Fees
Higher Charges Aim To Offset Fuel Costs
Airline passengers, already enduring persistent flight delays and other customer service headaches, are confronting another aggravation: mounting fees for everything from checking a second bag to sending a child alone on a trip.

I'm a bit disturbed at Northwest for implementing the $25 for a second bag fee. I chose to fly NorthWest to our convention in San Antonio specifically because they didn't charge a second bag fee. Now they do, making the price go up. It would have been cheaper to fly a different airline if I'd known. And no, I can't get all those formal gowns and daily business wear into one suitcase.

FedEx your clothes in advance. That's what I do and it's so nice to run into the airport and not check bags.

Yep. I'm already experiencing huge price increases. I paid $600 for a round trip to Laguardia that has never been above $250. NY hotel prices are increasing too!

Nice to have a son with an apartment in the city.

As for air fares, I'd go back to driving some places.

If gas prices weren't so high.
