Airlines Discover Supply & Demand

primescot1 -

You may not like it, but you've made my point - you use more services than I do. Especially with a large and bulky item like golf clubs!

If you were shipping them, you'd expect to pay for that service. When I buy a ticket, I'm not purchasing shipment for a set of clubs - why should my ticket cost me more to pay for the service they give you?SW may not charge now, but they will eventually - because you're using an extra service.

Pay your own way!

Airlines Discover Supply & Demand

Checking a bag is a service, not an integral part of your ticket price. I fly 100,000 miles a year and rarely check a bag.

If you're having an airline take fourteen changes of clothes for you and your entire family, you SHOULD pay for the privledge. It costs the airlines to transport your luggage - if you don't use that space, the airlines can certainly sell it to a shipper!
