Well I didn’t think it would take long for the airlines to get on the bandwagon and start charging for the extra luggage. USAirways will charge $25.00 for the second bag. It will be just a matter of time before they come up with something else to charge us for.

February 27, 2008Southwest
February 8, 2008We just made a current trip on Southwest and did you know the seating requirements have changed. Southwest now ofers you a letter and a number for boarding. It worked well and it beats standing in line and fighting for position to board the plane. I think Southwest is working to become the carrier of many.
