Steve Sla...I can only agree on your input on fees.<br /><br />Steve Slater's life story is actually more intertwinded with the luggage fees than it seems at first look. As more customers bring carry-ons in order to avoid the check-in fee, overhead bins become quickly full, causing stress among flight attendants having to either rearrange the luggages or request relucant passengers to check-in large carry-ons (although they don't charge a fee in theses cases).<br />Note- I do see limits to applying this logic to Steve Slater's story as A) the luggage altercation occured at the end of the flight and B) JetBlue does not charge a first luggage fee.<br /><br />Regarding the UK fees: They do seem unreasonably large. I'm not sure if that's $100 per way or if it's only applied to one leg - but either way, one can travel thru a third country for the same price. <br /><br />It currently costs about the same to fly to Brussels (want to have a taste of India on your way to Europe? Check out Jet Airways) as it does to London. Then, one can find a Eurostar ticket for $57/way at www.eurostar.com if booking in advance.<br /><br />While it would be ironic to take Ryanair to avoid a fee, the same could be acheived by flying into continental Europe, and booking a second ticket with Ryanair to London - provided that one checks in online, does not bring check-in luggages and can go without a snack or restroom during the flight ;)Olivier Wagnerhttp://www.walktomycruiseship.comnoreply@blogger.com
