Hallelujah. I for one am sick and tired of paying $50 extra for bags, and God knows what else, only to find that my $230 ticket is really $300. What's worse, some online air travel sites include the fees in the advertised price, some don't. It's a cute little gimmick the airlines came up with, charging us for every little thing they can come up with since they're all in collusion anyway, and they're basically a monopoly industry in this country, where adequate cross country train travel is non-existent (meaning, I have no reasonable alternative to flying to Chicago from DC when the train takes 24 hours and I don't have a car). So kudos to the Obama administration for forcing the airlines to be up front about their fares. Maybe next we can find out how all the airlines magically charge the same fare, to the penny, for the same routes.

Actually the airlines are subject to so many federal regulations and money that this is what you get.
Big government is a loser every way you slice it.
You mean regulations such as FAA safety regulations that have made flying in the US the safest form of transportation?
Don't have a car?
What kind of libtard are you?
Don't forget the unions.
