Baggage Fees
Well, the last of the big six legacy carriers, Delta, envious at the torrents of money flowing into their competitors' coffers, has decided to institute bag fees. Looks like $15 a bag each way. Since fuel prices are dropping precipitously one can only assume that baggage fees are needed less for offsetting higher fuel prices and more for lining the corporate bottom line with lucre.
And so it goes. I would really be interested to see if Southwest will follow suit at some point. So far they've held the line but the cash they're losing out on has to hurt just the tiniest bit.
