Flight Line Yellow

According to the New York Times, Delta, Continental, United, Northwest, and US Airways are just about ready to charge people for bringing more than one bag on a flight. Second bags are going to cost $25 and third bags will be a whopping $100! As if airports weren’t already slow and chaotic, now people are going to be complaining more than ever about their flights. Relatively speaking, flying is still somewhat cheap between many North American cities but adding another $100 to the tab is quite a jump. We’ll see how long this lasts once it’s set in place.

From an airline perspective, it’s almost a no-brainer to serve alcohol on planes yet US Airways failed to obtain a liquor license. After drinking heavily on a flight, a passenger stepped off the plane and into his car. He was then involved in a fatal crash. This lead officials in New Mexico to investigate the crash at which point they discovered that US Airways wasn’t even allowed to have served the beverages in the first place. They have ordered the carrier to stop serving alcohol.
