US Airways has joined the club and on July 9 will start charging the flying public for the first bag checked, not only on domestic flights but also to and from Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. Blaaaaaaaaaah!!! The funniest part is the way they rationalize it: on the US Airways web site, under Changing the way we do business these masters of business acumen write: We're transforming our business by initiating a 'pay-for-what-you-use' model for items like baggage and beverages. Oh, the first bag will cost ya 15 bucks.
Why am I titling these posts such-and-such and common sense? Well, because most people travel with luggage! (I'm almost certain that according to the "research" done by the airline industry, I'm dead wrong and most people fly without any luggage, barefoot, stark naked, and are ecstatic about being nickel-and-dimed for everything...)
