New U.S. Senate Bill Proposes End to “Ridiculous” Airline Fees
The new bill would impose limitations on charging fees for checked bags and travel changes or cancellations. (airwaysnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Once again...the airline industry in the US is the most regulated, deregulated industry!
When was the last time Congress saved you any money??????
Haha no kidding! :)
The US Senate is going to statutorily define 'ridiculous'?
The only theft going on in the industry is the taxes that are attached to an airline ticket. And that by law the airline has to market the price of the ticket plus taxes..
Different airports should be able to charge different prices based on their facilities.
And the airlines should be able to show the flying public how much we pay in taxes each flight!

Okay....if the traveling public wants to pay another $100 per ticket! The airlines have gone to an un-bundled fare structure to make flying more affordable. Interesting how these senators are actually going to increase the overall cost of flying.
I would like to see some accountant or a real smart guy who "works in the weeds" regarding the price(s) airlines charge for travel. I did a little research and discovered the following article about how airlines spend your money.

By all means, it is not in-depth, but it does shed some light on the subject. Paraphrasing the author, it is unfortunate that we just see the face of the watch and not all that makes it work.
I share the distrust of our elected "representatives". It seems the only thing they do well is to discover better ways to obtain our money. I wish they were just as adroit to find ways to spend it efficiently.
