[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 313681, member: 1963"] Initially I understood the luggage fees due to fuel costs being so high. Afterall, I can remember flying 'puddle jumpers' where they individually weighed not just luggage, but each passenger to help calculate what the plane could carry vs the weight of fuel needed. I learned my lesson about luggage long before the current airline idiocy: I used to have to fly between CA and O'Hare a few times a year and in two cases had luggage containing business materials go missing. After that I shipped my important stuff via UPS or FedEx to my work site so it was waiting for me when I got there. It cost a bit more but it was worth it. I don't think, given the excessive luggage fees now being charged, that you would really be paying a penalty to have your stuff shipped, and you are pretty sure of getting it on time. [/QUOTE]
