Airline Blues
by mornin77 @ 2008-06-15 - 13:41:09

Hey there, With fuel costs rising, seemingly on a daily basis, the airlines are coming up with ways to try to offset the soaring cost, to fly
their planes from place to place. Your baggage
check, first checked bag will cost you $15 on American Airlines, other airlines will probably follow suit. Special seat assignments, will cost an extra fee, Northwest Airlines, will charge $6 for special seat assignments. If you are thirsty and want a soda, the charge will be $2 per soda. Water will also cost $2 on some airlines. If you are an Elite frequent flyer, these fees will be waived.
Fares themselves are being raised, you are able to save money, by taking connecting flights, it would be good to check around and do comparison shopping. The airline industry will still lose billions of dollars of revenue in the future, with the cost of fuel reaching massive heights,
and virtually crushing the budgets of many airlines. One airline was smart enough to purchase fuel, some five years into the future, at current costs. If more airlines had been able to do this same cost saving measure, their losses would be somewhat muted.
Today, you have to do your homework, in order to find cost savings, when you have to travel, advance planning is very important. Fares are rising very quickly, and you must do your research in order to find deals that are favorable for travelers.

I consider that I have the perfect answer. I don't travel.

The more they increase their charges the less custom they will get, till eventually they pack up. It's already happening in this part of the world.

Money , money, money, spells disaster for civilization.
