White Collar Travel Extra: Abercrombie CEO grounded! {Gadling}
Apr 18th 2010 9:46PM That's how it is supposed to work--the company board of directors clips the CEO's wings. Then again, after reading about the Spirit situation, I'm sure Chuck Schumer would have fixed the problem if the board hadn't.
Gadling readers have spoken - Spirit Airlines carry-on bag fee is a bad idea {Gadling}
Apr 18th 2010 9:40PM Ten years ago, every airline charged people the exact same amount to check a bag as they did to carry one on. Then one airline (and then all but two more) decided to charge extra to check a bag. First of all, before this checked bag charge, delays caused by carry on were virtually non-existent; people did not try to overstuff luggage with a week's worth of clothing, etc. Second, where were the politicians when airlines decided to impose this extra charge a few years ago. All Spirit is doing is offering people the choice of where they want their paid-for baggage to go--underneath or overhead. It's a rather simple proposition.
You said that 6.9% of your readers like the idea? I'll bet my last dollar that Spirit Air would love to have have a 6.9% market share. Trust me, if people don't like the ultimate unbundled fare Spirit charges for its "service," they'll stop flying the airline. The government has far more important things to do.
Buyer beware: BBBcertifiedgifts site not part of the Better Business Bureau {WalletPop}
Nov 29th 2009 3:15PM The site was recently created and testers were advertised for on craigslist in Portland, Oregon. The site is registered by a designer whose URL appears to be www.lajansendesign.com. The designer, Lisa Jansen, could be--but I'd guess is not--the site owner. That said, she may be a good contact for folks looking to find the site owner.
