the TSA destroying your gear or the idiot at the lost baggage claim
asking if your plane landed yet, there seems to always be something to
make a trip less enjoyable. I really can't wait for the day where you
slide into a tube, close a window and the shoot a spray of gas that
knocks you out for the hours it takes to take off and land. Until then
I have to deal with figuring new ways of minimizing my gear and
traveling more "High Speed / Low Drag"
You have to admire the marketing guys at the headquarters for their
inspirational ways of bleeding people. I am sure in the industry there
is a plaque somewhere for that guy who figured out how to save Delta
half a million bucks by cutting out 5 pieces of corn from the inflight
service. Changes like that aren't so subtle anymore. Now they simply
take away all the food and charge you to give it back to you. Then
there is the fee you can pay them for for hurting the environment.
Although I am all in support for charging an obese person for an extra
seat.
AND NOW if that wasn't enough they come out with this deal where you
have to pay for the two bags you check in. HAsn't anybody figured out
that proper incentive to help people bring less bags is to offer a
rebate by bringing less bags instead of all of a sudden charging
people for something that used to be for free???
Anyway. Here is a link to Expedia's site for travelers to see how much
each airline is charging now.
