Z,
Just wondering how you hit Million Miler in two years.
Assuming you churn both the consumer and bussines cards every sixty days, you would have 480,000 after two years. Did you do some massive spending or something?

You mean to say that I now have to pay American Airlines $15 to lose my first bag? What happens when I get to my destination but my bag doesn’t?

Once this fee takes effect, can we all say that we are members of the “mile high club” for getting screwed on your airline?

Maybe we can get an AIRLINE BAGGAGE GMACH. People who are AA/OneWorld elite members, full fare passengers, AAnytime AAward passengers, etc. who are willing to check the baggage for you.

Maybe people will be willing to trade it for Levi’s Toilet rights (comment #1)…

Eli:
Southwest still allows 2 bags and allows free changes and cancellations.

what do you want them to do at oil at 133 a barrel? I want them to manage their business properly is what I want them to do. Notice in all this that Southwest Airlines is doing just fine.

what do you want them to do at oil at 133 a barrel the key is to be gold or platinum and you are now really getting a good benefit.

So now that this is going on, is there any airline we can fly that doesn’t charge all these ridiculous fees?

By: Eric

The way most airlines are managed today we won’t have to worry about this fee too long as they’ll be bankrupt and out of business soon. Domestic carriers have ruined travel and nothing short of a catastrophic redo will fix the problem. Soon it will be too expensive to do anything more then stay home! Boy I’m glad I live in San Diego!!!!!

I am Platinum on AA and I don’t like this one bit. Why? Because just picture the lines at security when people start bringing multiple large suitcases through to avoid the checked luggage fee.

And don’t even get me started with what will happen to overhead bin space!
