Bag charges
The new bag charges are a big pain in the butt for all of us including the passengers. I am surprised, since deregulation in the 1970s, that it has taken this long for airline executives to figure it out that charging for individual bags is fairest thing to do in an open market. Then again, airline executives are more worried about the annual bottom line rather than the long term.
Would it be fair to charge a passenger for bags for both ways if they intend to only drop off some personal things to a family member one way? While other passengers are not checking bags, lightening the load for everyone else? Charging for each one way is the fairest thing if one is competing in the open market. That is what determines prices...supply and demand.
