I wish this was what I was talking about.
You know when you book a flight you’re always looking for the cheapest fare? The fare that you paid for the ticket this holiday season is not the price you paid to get you and all your LUGGAGE to your destination. I’m flying US Airways today to the east coast, and was charged $15 for my first bag and $25 for my snowboard bag. It used to be an all inclusive experience: baggage, meal, pillow, blanket, movie. Now I think I’ll probably have to pay for my meal too.
Gone are the days where flying was convenient and fun and hip. Those adjectives should only be used for flying privately.
I think I’d still rather fly Southwest and have fixed flying costs, instead of playing airline roulette with fares only to have to pay more money when I get to the airport. Previously I mentioned that Southwest had hedged their fuel for the year, I hope they are stocking up again right now.
Does anyone know of any gasoline for car hedge funds? I’d be a member of any club that would get me fixed prices on fuel for the next year or two.
I like the commercial and I would chose the jack ass as an alternative! I thought you might blog with 4 hours to kill in the airport!
Have a great trip and Merry Christmas to your family.
