No one will spend the price of a camera on a single extra charge for an overweight bag.El Chehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785589891275009329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901263518413735627.post-69440666022921916522011-09-27T17:58:00.878-04:002011-09-27T17:58:00.878-04:00I found out the hard way myself as well, while on ...I found out the hard way myself as well, while on a trip bound to Africa. My connecting flight was in Paris coming from Dallas, TX and the overweight fees were astonishing high since I had several bags. So I refused to pay it, booked a hotel at Orly airport and freighted most of my luggage's with a cheap cargo company instead of paying those insane fees... I came up ahead and enjoyed Paris at the same time...:)Luxury Resorts Hotelshttp://vipsaccess.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901263518413735627.post-44185579453446189832011-09-24T14:03:38.401-04:002011-09-24T14:03:38.401-04:00Hi Central Park Tours: You're right about the ...Hi Central Park Tours: You're right about the ever-increasing fees. However, the airlines profits aren't soaring as a result, to be fair. The major airlines of the US have posted a loss for seven out of the last 10 years. I still don't think that justifies crazy fees like this, but my guess is this dismal record may be part of the reason we're seeing these awful new fees.Pauline Frommerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702754029827692516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901263518413735627.post-50720665459808989982011-09-23T15:10:47.376-04:002011-09-23T15:10:47.376-04:00This is really a crime.

I feel that they've determined that we can't operate without them and that if they all gouge us uniformly we'll have no choice but to acquiesce. I'm appalled.Central Park Tourshttp://www.centralparksunsettours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901263518413735627.post-73301073777330252512011-09-21T10:33:04.680-04:002011-09-21T10:33:04.680-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987157518072982541noreply@blogger.com
