If you don't check in your bags and prepay them online, they will add another $5 for airport checkin of your bags. Gawd, are they just the worst airline!

That's absurd. I checked in on-line for Conti with a checked piece of luggage to go on vacation but didn't on the way back. I imagine not everyone can check-in on-line from their vacation destination, due to lack of printer or whatever.

I'm getting very tired of these fees.

All the airlines have managed to do is force everyone to carry on everything.

On our last flight, the overhead bins were jammed full. I hadn't seen it that bad in years. I look for them to eventually start charging for carry on's or limiting carry on bags to something so small it won't do you a lot of good.

For the most part, we've gone the opposite way. We're down to one small bag that will fit under our seats. I HATE having to fight for space on vacation. It really puts a downer on getting there and back.

We are pushing back on the airlines and their idiotic fee's. We use to fly 6 times per year. Now I'm only planning vacations that require flights 4 times per year. So I suppose those fee's might look good on paper but, in reality, people are likely to fly less.
