Delta 'bidding' and outsmarting the airlines

OK, I've been reading and reading these articles for the last few days about the new airline 'bidding' on taking a bump. It's so frustrating, because does everyone even realize that there are rules in place so that the airlines have to pay up to $800 already? Please don't put a bid in for your flight for anything under $800.......or else you're allowing the airlines to get around their own rules!!!

Here is one article:

This is a great article.

Coming from a travel agent, and I too have seen a lot of 'greedy' airlines, I agree with parts of this one!!!!
Hope this info is helpful in deciding whether or not to 'bid' on your vacation plans.......

Airlines charging for CARRY ON luggage!

Well, here it is folks! We all knew this was coming....the airlines yet again nickel and diming the traveling public. Pretty soon they'll start charging for use of the restroom onboard, seatbelts, oxygen....oh you name it, you will eventually be charged!!!!

I think this is ridiculous!
Spirit Airlines started this one, and hopefully it will be a while before the rest of the airlines follow suit.......hopefully.......

World's Worst Airline!!

This is an oldie, but a goodie!!!!
