I have to say I think this is going too far. You can’t legislate everything. In the years of flying and billions of passengers how many are truly affected by an allergy so severe that merely sniffing the air near someone eating is enough to send them into convulsions? I have to say I’ve never seen such a thing on the news. What is next? No perfume, because people are allergic to that. No deodorant, because some are allergic to that. Oh, and make sure you wear all cotton because you might bump up against someone with a skin allergy to synthetic fiber. It can quickly slide into ridiculous. I’m sorry for those who have allergies, but those people also live with them daily and know how to cope and deal with them in public.
All the baggage fee has done is force people to take more as carry-ons, causing loading delays of all sorts. Between the security (no liquids, etc.) and the baggage fees pretty soon you won’t be able to take anything with you at all. The cost of the ticket is already ridiculously high. Instead of charging us, perhaps they need to bring in consultants and auditors to see just where their money is going (into executive’s pockets) and see how they can be more efficient with the money they are already extorting.
I’ve actually found it’s now cheaper to ship my items Fed Ex than it is to bring them with me on the plane. AND they get there! On time!
I totally agree if the airline loses the luggage or it’s delayed they should have to refund the fee they charged. They did not provide the service you paid for, end of story.
I completely agree ALL the fees should be listed when you buy that ticket. Prominently. You should know what you are going to be asked to pay for.
I have to say personally that if they start charging me a fee for putting a small bag in the overhead bin I will no longer be a customer. I will not fly any airline that does something so ridiculous. I do all the work AND I have to pay them? No, that’s where I draw the line. I’ll drive thanks.
