Is it just me? Or is everyone that flies on a regular basis, getting pretty sick and tired on how the airlines are nickel and diming us to death. I have flown nearly 70,000 miles since January 1st and it seems that nearly every flight I take things are getting more ridiculous.
I feel sorry for the Flight Attendants, once a glorious job they are now being forced by their employers to be candy and snack sales people. I have heard more sales pitches on flights lately that I expect them to start walking the isles with chickens legs and pork rinds for sale. Its truly pathetic what the airline attendants are being forced to endure.
Ohh and don’t even travel with luggage, because if you pack more than you can wear on your body you better get your credit card out and be prepared to pay up not to mention the scales Nazi. I think I will start putting rocks in my bags just to get them to exactly 49.99 pounds.
Meals well forget that, and even if your up in first class most meals just generally suck. When you fly from Hawaii on a regular basis the flights are at a minimum 4 hours long and usually more like 9. But yet most Airlines treat Hawaii flights as if they are domestic.
Little trivia for you, the closest land to Hawaii that is not a island is over a 1000 miles away. In fact Hawaii are the most remote islands in the world, yet we are considered a domestic flight by airlines in the types of services they provide, yet they charge International rates for the flights.
Do you think after I spent $1700.00 for a trip to New Mexico last week that I want to have to find food for the flight, and then have to pay for my bags to be checked. Would it not be easier to charge me $1800.00 for the ticket, where I can check my bags for free, get a meal during the flight and not have to worry about having change to pay for my $3.00 peanuts.
Give me a break. Flying is not glorious, Flying is Hell, and their is nothing we can do about it but scream about the stupidity of the airlines in how the are Nickel and Diming us yet their service goes down the toilet. Cattle Travel better than Airline Passengers at least they get fed.
I don’t care that the Airlines are in trouble, raise your fares to cover your expenses so that I have room in the overhead for my carry on instead of having to deal with some person bringing a “Carry On” the size of a Elephant trunk, and taking up the entire storage area above my seat.
Ohh and did you hear that we are all going to have to start stepping on scales when we get to the airport? Anyone that weighs more than 25 pounds will have to pay a 5 dollars a pound for the right to sit down in ones seat.
