I'm so tired of the way the airlines run their business. Therefore, I do not fly anymore.

Yes, I heard that on the news. All carry-on luggage has to fit under the seat, or you have to pay for the overhead. Some people will likely end up with luggage on their laps.

I think Frontier Airlines already charges for carry ons that don't fit under the seat. I always try to fly Southwest when I can.

It is what it is!!!

Aren't things supposed to be safer overhead? Also adds to discomfort in traveling. Purely taking advantage of travelers and adding to travel discourtesy to fellow travelers. (Road rage in the skies!)

I don't fly but that's ridiculous. Gas prices have gone down so why are they still charging for all these extras?

If I have to fly some place I think I would ship my stuff to my destination via UPS.

Our State Senator (NYS - Schumer) is supposed to be fighting this . . . I agree it is crazy.

Flyers (most) have figured out many ways to pack so they only have a carry on. Baggage fees, lost luggage, etc got to be so ridiculous, creative packing was born.

The airlines do not like that people are not paying all the baggage fees they now charge. Some of the fees are astronomical. I don't blame people for only using carry on.

So now they are going to charge for overhead space? Watch how fast the public takes them down for that. They tried last year to make the size of a carry on so small everyone would have to check their bags. People went nuts! People would have had to buy new luggage if they wanted to fly with just a carry on bag. Airlines backed away from that idea fast.

So now they are going to try charging for overhead space. It never ends.

Greed, pure greed imo.
