"From April through June, the nation's largest airlines collected $893 million in baggage fees, $594 million in reservation change fees and $618 million in other charges, such as for transporting unaccompanied minors and shipping pets, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics."
I wonder what the airlines will charge for next? Breathing the air that comes out of the little vents above your head? Why I do I see air travel as going back to being only for the super wealthy? If they are into so much charging and cost-cutting, I wonder if they will have enough people to tighten bolts and do extensive maintenance? This is a disaster in the making. But hey...they found a scam to make money. Bravo.

Pets are expensive. From Miami to Houston the charge for a pet is more than for a human ($150 each way). Hell, for that price he should get the seat next to me instead of a dark cage in cargo.

In the event of an emergency you'd better hope you have exact change for the oxygen mask.
Some genius smuggled a LIVE CROCODILE, aboard a small airliner in the Congo.
The croc got loose, and in the ensuing panic, the plane crashed.
Only one person, and the crocodile, survived.

That's NOT possible, if you have family scattered all over the country.
