American Airlines New Fees

[hazelson]

M & J - you hit it right on! Where the heck are we supposed to put all that stuff we used to have in our carryons that we can not longer carry?

So now if I want to bring anything above the carry on limits (especially on liguids) I will have to pay to put it in a checked bag.

They get you coming and going.

They need to just tell it like it is - prices are going up - we know that - we are not stupid. Just make the ticket prices higher and allow free bags - I'll fall for that lol.

What next - are they going to weigh us at check in and charge us for being overweight :o(

I read the details in our morning paper. They will not charge their Elite members, first class or full fare passengers or international flight passengers.

I guess we just have to pack light, and enjoy the natural beauty of where we are. Maybe buy some cheap local clothes and save on airfare (and help local people). With gas being so expensive, this kind of makes sense.

[DebbieandJerry]

Either pack nothing and shop when we get there or travel in the buff.

Nope, can't do that. Southwest will bust us.

Guess we need to not "opt" to fly American. Not all of us are in the Elite category.

Well the Elite category are already paying, thats why they are Elite. I know, how bout disposable clothing, after all they have disposable diapers LOL
