锘? Airlines are screwing you on baggage fees, convenience fees, and holiday surcharges, read this to find out how to deal with all this. What can you do  Thomas Davis Panthers Jersey , you can?t get anywhere without paying for the flight - that is obvious. But does that mean the airlines have to take advantage of our dependence on their services? It looks like the answer is yes. In the last couple of years, airlines have been coming up with newer and more interesting ways to get us, their customers, to pay more. A few dollars here, a few dollars there, they come up with a way. They are quite creative about it and it doesn?t look like it is about to stop. What are we talking about? Keep reading. Checking Your Bags About a year ago, US Airways introduced a two-level payment deal for checking your bags. If you don?t pay for your flight online  Mike Tolbert Panthers Jersey , you have to pay an additional $5 when you get to the airport. The airlines call this a discount for online customers, but it is actually the opposite. All those people who didn?t think or know about paying online get charged the extra $5. And of course, as always happens in business, one company starts the ball rolling. Now United, Delta, Hawaiian and Continental all charge that extra $5. The fees for your taking your belongings with you on the plane have gone up too, and even more for international flights. You might be paying up to $25 for your first suitcase if you?re flying closer to home but fly from the U.S. to Europe or to other overseas destinations and you could be paying anywhere up to$60 for the second bag you check. Nowadays  Kawann Short Panthers Jersey , there are only two airlines that allow you to check your suitcases for free; Jet Blue (but only the first bag) and Southwest (two bags). Nice to know that there are still a couple of airlines who will do things the old way... It is a good idea to always check online for up-to-date airline fees. And while you?re looking into it, remember that the airlines find other services to charge us for. When you cancel or change your ticket, you get charged, and some of the airlines have a two-level system for this too. Three airlines that have such a twofold price structure for change fees are Alaska, Spirit, and Virgin America. The airlines make a lot of easy money because people so often change their plans. What about the fees themselves? Naturally they keep going up?.sometimes a little slower, sometimes faster?.we only have to wait and see how high they will go up this year. Carry-on Bags Did you think you can take a small carry-on suitcase onto the flight for free? That is starting to change too. This year Spirit began to charge fees up to $45 for that bag you prefer to hold onto and not check. Only a small handbag that can be placed under the seat doesn?t get charged. What does this mean? Like you  Trai Turner Panthers Jersey , we are waiting to see if the other airlines will join the party. If they do, then carry-on charges might be the way of the future. This sounds like a little too much ? there is even one U.S. senator fighting against these charges. Let?s hope he succeeds in making his voice heard. Holiday Surcharges There was a lot of talk when a few airlines started adding on an extra charge of up to $15 when you fly on a holiday or right before the holiday. Some argue that these charges are not really extra, as in any event the price of a flight will go up on one of those days. Think of it this way, they are raising the price for specific flights without raising prices for all of their flights. Either way you explain it, you pay more. The airlines first charged their customers the surcharge for Christmas and Thanksgiving holiday flights. United, US Airways, American  Ryan Kalil Panthers Jersey , Continental and Delta all decided to continue charging this extra fee through 2010, so that people traveling for spring break or Memorial Day got stuck with it too. It looks like the holiday surcharge is not going anywhere. Maybe you think this extra charge won?t affect you, but it could certainly add up if you are flying with a group. Again, the best advice is to check online before booking your flight. On the way back from a holiday vacation, it could really make a difference to you to fly home on a day which doesn?t have these extra charges. Compare prices for different days carefully. ?Convenience? fees Did you think that the airlines couldn?t come up with anything else to charge you for? They have?.Spirit charges for booking online (although you save by checking your luggage online), British Airways want $30 for selecting your seat ahead of time and Southwest expects an extra $10 if you ask to board first. As far as we know, no one charge.
