I am sure that most will be empathetic and most likely able to relate to this post. After all, each time we all fly, we get screwed by the airlines.
First, the baggage fee. Ridiculous. Who travels without baggage. I just do not get it. Of course, there is always Southwest who does not charge. But then you risk being sucked out of the ceiling when you fly.
Second, the plane condition. I don’t know about you, but I feel like I need to be decontaminated after I fly on an airplane. I’d be safer on a public bus compared to some flights I have flown on.
Third, the “change fees”. Really, $150 per ticket plus the cost difference? Is that fair? Perhaps I’ll have to pretend I have a medical condition so that we can get those fees waived.
Fourth, early is on-time…on-time is late in my book. Nothing like scheduling your flight when there is a disclaimer next to your itinerary that states “50% on time”. 50%?!! What if doctors were only 50% right all the time? And that is for our DIRECT FLIGHT. 50%…that’s something to brag about.
I guess in my older and wiser age of almost 28, I’ve come to appreciate the value of my American Dollar and are sick of the un-impressive airline performance and outrageous cost for a simply bag of gardettos and a half a can of soda. What happened to the days of full meals and free TV? Just sickening.

Most airlines operate at a loss.
I feel ya! $80 JUST for luggage when I went. I was so ticked. You pay enough to fly. But, did you get a warm cookie at least??
