Dec 20th, 2010 at 3:30PM: Every time you pay to check an extra bag you're making someone's life better. The latest data from the U.S. Department of Transportation reveals that the third quarter of 2010 was the most profitable for the U.S. airline industry since the department began keeping score in 2002. The industry's operating profit margin hit 10.5 percent in aggregate. Low-cost carriers, as a class, had an operating ...Which airline made the most money on baggage fees?
Dec 13th, 2010 at 2:30PM: Last year, baggage fees were used by airlines to make up for lost fare revenue, as the recession kept people on the ground. This year, it's just been a great source of extra revenue, as passenger traffic and fares are up – and the fees haven't gone away. Almost all airlines are getting in on the action, some more egregious than others.
Well, data for the third quarter of 2010 is in, and ...Five reasons airline fees up 50% year-over-year

Apr 9th, 2008 at 9:00PM: Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, so might Skybus. Yesterday, there were several stories about the possibility of Skybus Airlines' return. The first story I heard was on the radio. Next came the nightly news. According to the stories, John Weikle, the airline's founder, said he's been working out ways to bring it back.
Weikle pointed to Allegiant Air as an indication that no-frills airlines ...Tornadoes, planes, and grumpy fliers -- oh my!
Jan 12th, 2008 at 12:30PM: Jerry's post on weird weather around the world, and my observation and subsequent "whining" (as a few readers put it) about Allegiant Air's lack of online check-in reminded me of one of the strangest airport experiences I've had in recent past. Some of our U.S. readers might have heard about the nasty stretch of weather that made its way through the Midwest last week. The epicenter of the ...Why does Allegiant Air need two hours of my life?
Jan 7th, 2008 at 1:00PM: Today I'm flying to Las Vegas out of our small, national airport in Springfield, Missouri on low-fair airline Allegiant Air. Allegiant, like most other budget airlines, charges extra for virtually everything beyond the ticket price, including (for two passengers) a $44 "seat selection fee," and a $17 "convenience fee" for booking online. I feel convenienced already. Even with all the extra fees, ...
