Misery works: airlines making money on baggage fees

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I think the airlines are offering their customers a dis-service by charging fees to check in baggage. People that fly out of the Greater Cincinnati Airport pay the most money to fly than any other airport in the country. For people that are handicapp it is virtually impossible for them to carry-on luggage. Why should the disabled have to pay for something they can't do? Are the major airlines discriminating against people with disabilities? I think so? If you don't, I challenge you to tie a rope around your legs, rent a wheelchair, push yourself and carry a 40 lb piece of luggage from the spot where you are dropped at the airport, through the terminal and to the plane, and then do this all over again once you reach your designation. See if you can do it? I bet you can't.

Also keep in mind disabled people need to bring medical supplies, etc with them when traveling so the excuse - travel lightly is difficult to do.

Just my thoughts and feelings.
