the nerve

i know its probably not a shock to any of you that you have to pay to check a bag on to an airline when you fly .it didn't use to be like that .checked bags use to be included in the price of your ticket .and should still be .the price of gas has dropped dramatically since they started charging .yet since they have enacted the fee and know people are paying they are of coarse not going to retract it .it really pisses me off to .$15 may not sound like a lot but its $30 if you're flying round trip which just about everyone is doing .and $30 still isn't that much money .its more the principal of the matter to me

i flew on north west airlines at the end of september and i was aware of the charge i was given a paper saying that checked bags on domestic flights were free .i of coarse guessed it was out of date yet no where on this paper did it say that it was subject to change .i contacted NWA about this and they offered me a $50 electronic voucher .what ever the hell that is .yet no attempt at a refund was offered .i'm not sure how you can offer me $50 yet say you're not going to give me $30 .i guess they fail to see the simple math and that they would be keeping $20 .it's not to surprising to me either .i mean this is a company that charges you if you want anything to during the flight .no free tiny pack of peanuts but you could have a free drink .i think they need some major restructuring of their company if they are that desperate for money .i feel bad for delta since the two companies have since merged .if you fly .complain about the fee .if you don't let your voice be heard no change will ever happen
