An Even Lower Low

Airlines charge for luggage now Although that once was free. They make a mint demanding That all flyers pay a fee. They also charge for food and drink And “extra” legroom, too. We grouse and grumble but there’s not A lot that we can do. And now I hear they’re sinking To an even lower low. There’ll be a cost for bins that hold The smaller things we stow. United’s at the forefront Of this latest air offense, To build their coffers quickly At the passengers’ expense. I just signed a petition That will underscore this view. In the meantime, when I’m flying, I’ll stay loyal to JetBlue.* *which still doesn’t charge for luggage and gives free snacks, too

We're being nickle and dimed, Ilene! Pretty soon, flying will be so expensive nobody will want to fly. When I go to France I always fly Air France, they have a set price and that's it – at least that's what it was three years ago! Thanks for the tip about JetBlue. I may be visiting friends in Florida this coming winter. / M

It's always take take take from us poor travelers. At least people are making their views known.
