I agree with posters who think that this will cause HUGE problems with increased numbers of carryon bags. The airlines should be dealing with fuel costs by charging customers based on weight - the customer's weight and the baggage weight. Everyone should get an allowance of 250lbs. Anything over that and you pay. I'm getting ripped off as I'm below 130 lbs and my kids are 40 and 60 lbs each. Why should I be subsidizing the fuel costs for the increasing number of lard butts who live in America?

If oil prices come down, will these "fees charged to recoup fuel expenses" go away? I think not. British Airways last year got fined for price fixing for "fuel surcharges" (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291699,00.html).

If the airlines really want to be fair, they should make all the fatties who take up two seats PAY FOR TWO SEATS.

I KNOW THAT AIRLINES HAVE HIGH FUEL PRICES AND OTHER OVEREAD COSTS THAT
MAKE THEM NEED TO CHARGE MORE FOR THEIR SERVICES. IT IS BETTER TO ADD IT INTO THE TICKET PRICE AS NOT TO DELAY PASSENGER CHECK IN WITH YET ANOTHER THING TO PAY FOR OR COMPLETE BEFORE YOU FLY. NOW CONSUMERS WILL HAVE TO STAND IN LINE AND SPEND MORE OF OUR PRECIOUS TIME AS WELL AS THE ALREADY BURDENDED AIRLINE EMPLOYEE TIME AND PAY FOR EXTRA BAGS.
COME ON FOLKS, IF TIME IS MONEY ALL AROUND. DOES THIS MAKE SENSE ??
LONGER DELAYED LINES ?? USING CREDIT CARDS TO MAKE TRANSACTIONS ??
I CAN TELL YOU I DO NOT LIKE TO HAVE TO TAKE EXTRA BAGS BUT IF I DO I WOULD REALLY NOT LIKE TO HAVE TO STAND IN LINE TO PAY FOR AN EXTRA BAG THAT I USED TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ON FOR NO CHARGE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE TWO TICKET PRICES ONE FOR CARRY ON ONLY AND ONE FOR CARRY ON PLUS CHECK IN BAGS THIS MAY HELP BUSINESS TRAVELERS WHO TRAVEL LIGHT AND HAVE THOSE WHO ARE DOING MORE EXTENSIVE TRAVEL HAVE THEIR BAGS PAID FOR IN ADVANCE. MAKES SENSE, MAYBE TOO MUCH SENSE !!!
MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR ALL !! YES

Those who scold the critics of Delta's new $25 fee are missing the point. If Delta and other air lines need more revenue, they should raise ticket prices. Why charge for the second bag instead of raising the same money by price increases on future tickets? Because those who check a second bag are in the minority, and the fewer who have something to complain about, the less power the complainers have as a group. Anyway, Delta and United are not going to get me to pay that fee. Since 9/11 I have been checking a bag that I used to carry on. I have really enjoyed not carrying it on; wish I'd checked it all along. Now I'll put the toothpaste in my golf bag and start using the second bag as a carry-on again. Delta et al can go to hell.

You people are placing your anger on the wrong industry. How can you blame airlines for raising prices when oil is priced as high as it is?

Have you seen how much money oil companies are making? They are making tens of billions of dollars. Airlines are lucky if they can break even.

Please place blame on the true culprit.
