Yup, plus exactly 24 hours ahead of time spend 2 minutes mashing the F-5 refresh key on your browser repeatedly until can check in, almost always end up with good boarding row.
I think my point is about as straightforward as it can get. But you sure are hell bent on running in circles... nothing new there.
You're confused. Go back and re-read our banter.

What?! The only thing I've mentioned as being "crap" in this thread is YOUR POSITION.
I don't know what the heck you think you're talking about here. I think you're confusing me with someone else, because your replies to me aren't making any sense whatsoever. Again, go back and re-read my posts and your responses to them. Once you've done that, answer this one, simple question:
Why shouldn't the airlines charge for their service based on the cost of providing that service, on a case by case basis?
People have better visibility to fares than hidden charges, or be controlled to plan their trips by the airlines. So, they can shop for best fare. It is why I chose to book tickets on British Airways to London last month, even though the flight was by American Airlines. If I were to book on American Airlines, we would have gotten the same flight, but paid $120 more on bags, but about $100 less on tickets. So, even though the tickets were cheaper under American Airlines, the expense was lower on British Airways. But even if that weren't the case, I would still choose an airline that respects its customers more and affords greater freedom.
BTW, American Airlines is the only one of five airlines I've considered/flown this year that has the stupid baggage fee on second bag on international flights. The others being Lufthansa (Germany), British Airways, Jet Airways (India) and Air India.
Not really. Ignorance rules these forums, your post illustrates just that.
Continental is horrible...dont fly them if u can avoid- plus to buy a drink they refuse cash now- U must use a credit card
Domestic flights in US are now usually over 500.00, but you get to ride in a cattle car.

Pretty much the same applied to international flights on American Airlines. It was a 8-9 hour torture both ways. At least the flight attendants (on the return flight) were better than I've seen at American. Now every time my fiance and I look at pictures from this trip and come across this,
She says... next time this!
Promise me not this...
To which I say... it is your fault for not being able to get out of office an hour early on a Friday.
Its a political TOY... and anyone who can't see it for what it is.. well. your a political TOY as well.
Yes, the legislator and those supporting it will use it for political advantage. "look what I did for you the little guy" when they really did nothing. They'll point to those opposing the bill and say "See, they are for big business and do not support the little guy".
