What else will they think of next?

Charge you more if you want to use the bathroom or need a barf bag?

See, I told you I have a warped sense of humor.

I thought that one was already under consideration by at least one airline.

I wouldn't be surprised.

It'll be like Europe, you'll need a Euro to get into the stall and they won't take dollars.

On some level Southwest does something similar (but rumor has it they will be changing it soon). You pay an exta $10 each way to ensure you are in A group. First on....choice of seats. Most I'm sure pick front of plane or exit row.

What rumor have you heard?

Still purely just rumor......
On flyer talk some "in the know" stated that seat savings will be addressed and a thing of the past.

It was from a thread that discussed how a family of 6 paid for two early boarding passes. The two people got on the plane first, saved the first 2 rows and then the rest of the party showed up at the end of B seating.

Alot of speculation.....assigned seats, no EB, etc.

So you can buy a cheap airline ticket but then you will need to add on all the extras...Or buy an expensive airline ticket and need to add on all the extras.

Big Business strikes again against the little people................

On many airlines, the first rows of coach are called premium seats, and can only be reserved free by elite frequent flyers. Any other passenger pays extra for the ''premium seat''. The elites have early boarding anyway. On other airlines, the person paying for the premium seat, though, does not get early boarding. That seems to be the only thing different at AA.

Actually RyanAir has already removed the barf bags from the seats. If you need one, you have to pay for it. They have said they are studying pay toilets, but haven't actually put any on planes yet.

Perhaps they'll offer a combined barf and excrement bag. No reason to leave your seat.

You'll have to unbuckle, though.

SW? Not going to happen. They are fanatical about gate turnaround time, and assigned seats slows down boarding.
