Carry-on baggage fees are one of the most outrageous fees that traveler's get hit with these days. It's no surprise then that a number of work-arounds to this fee have been developed, including shipping your luggage or wearing your carry-on in the form of a ScotteVest jacket. Speaking of the...

Spirit Airlines has announced that as of August 1, it will be the first domestic airline to charge for carry-on baggage. If you bring anything bigger than what can fit under the seat in front of you, you'll pay as much as $45. The airline's press release about it is, of course, total bunkum. The...

What you probably know, along with millions of other YouTube viewers, is that a young man named Dave Carroll has written and filmed a cheeky, catchy little song called "United Breaks Guitars" after the airline socked a hole in his $3,000-plus Taylor acoustic guitar in 2008, then refused to replace...

A Washington, D.C. law firm heard something it didn't like in a phone call AirTran made to analysts last October. When someone asked if the airline planned to institute luggage fees, the CEO said "we would strongly consider it," if Delta did it first. Well, Delta went and did it. Then AirTran...

Please forgive me for being so blunt, but some people should not be allowed near airplanes. Case in point: A student of Yale University (of all places), is suing US Airways for $1 million. No, he did not get run over by an airplane. He did not fall off the loading tram. He did not even stub his...

Those of us who were leaning toward Delta Air Lines because of its policy of allowing a free first checked bag can now abandon any favoritism. As of December 5 (just in time for the holidays!), it will start charging $15 for the first check bag. That figure is pretty much what everyone's charging...
