Kids On Airplanes? I’d Rather Have Snakes

admin — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 17:55:29 +0000

I’d rather have snakes on airplanes then kids. Seriously. Well, the non-poisonous kind of snakes. They can even bite, because kids bite too. Mostly snakes would slither around and try to find a place to hide. Kids, on the other hand, run up and down the isles and bump your computer monitors. They touch your [...]

Dreaming Up Future New Airline Travel Fees

admin — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 13:12:11 +0000

Federal information shows that U.S. airlines collected more than $6 billion from fees in the first nine months of 2010. That’s a whole lot of cash. It looks like oil & gas prices are going higher in 2011, so you know airline executives are in their meetings dreaming up new fees right now. Bastards. So [...]

Business Travelers Pay A Lot In Taxes

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:23:06 +0000

Business Travelers pay a lot more in taxes than you realize. Try an average of $101 in taxes in a 3 day domestic trip says the National Business Travel Association. Car rental, hotel stay, and restaurant taxes are often inflated by local municipalities to target business travelers. No wonder corporate travel departments and the travel [...]

Senators Go After Spirit Airlines

admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 05:08:12 +0000

Go get ‘em Senators! As you read in “Spirit Airlines has no soul“, Spirit Airlines wants to charge passengers for bringing a bag on the plane with them. That’s right, charge for a carry-on bag. Apparently business travelers weren’t the only ones that were rubbed the wrong way by this terrible idea by Spirit Airlines. [...]

Spirit Airlines Has No Soul

I’m floored. Or at least all my bags will be if I ever fly Spirit Airlines again. Let me explain. Spirit, the small Florida based airline, recently announced a $45 per bag fee for – get this – carry-on bags. No, not checked bags – they already have fees for those – bags you carry [...]

Airplane Exit Row Seats

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:45:14 +0000

I miss the good-old-days of the exit row seat. You know, when you could get the exit row for free by pre-booking them or asking upon early arrival at check-in. No more. Now days the airlines are charging for exit rows, well at least most of them. Airtran charges $20, JetBlue $10 or $20 depending [...]

C’mon people, be nice. If a big person, or even a fat person sits down next to you on a flight, don’t give that nasty look a lot of you like to give. As long as the bigger person can put their seat belt on and put the seat armrests down, there shouldn’t be an [...]

How Much Is An Airplane Blanket Worth?

admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 02:36:28 +0000

Now we know the airline industry isn’t exactly known for providing good service. But things are getting a bit ridiculous. American Airlines apparently thinks all travelers are rich. And there is nothing that comes with your ticket purchase other than a seat. If you want a blanket and a pillow on an American Airlines flight, [...]
