Results of Airline Baggage Fees
CNN is reporting that airline baggage fees top $2.5 BILLION. YOU DON'T SAY!!!
According to the article Delta is the worst of the buch, followed by American and US Airways.
On top of that they have also made $1.7 BILLION on cancellation and change fees through three-quarters of 2010. So let me get this straight. The airlines industry has made roughly $4.2 BILLION this year before people even got on a plane? They made that kind of dough for just taking your bag and cancelling or changing your flight? Doesn't include the cost of a ticket, meals, snacks, or any other kind of service you're offered WHILE you're flying. Funny, I was thinking that if I paid for a service it ought to be accomplished. Yet, when they lost our bags in May, I don't remember a refund. Instead I had to drive to the state line to pick them up because the drivers weren't allowed to cross state lines. Definitely didn't get what I was paying for.
Does this make ANY sense to anyone?
