Paying not to check

The predictions keep coming and they aren’t good:

Now that the airlines have hiked their checked bag fees — and have gotten away with it — prepare to pay for carry-on baggage.

That’s right. Carry-on baggage…

With delays inevitable with all the people fighting for overhead space, the airlines will be forced to start charging a carry-on fee for anything larger than a paperback novel. While the new fees have just been implemented, many are predicting chaos both during boarding and at the security lines.

Mark my words, this new fee will be spun as a way to speed up boarding time. The airlines will claim they are doing this to ensure on-time departures. - Ron Goltsch on Tripso.com
