The only way to fly – wish they went overseas too.
The airlines continue in their self-destructive cycle of mistreating customers. This time American Airlines will charge for blankets.
Beginning May 1, coach passengers on American’s domestic flights that last more than two hours, as well as those on flights to Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, will have to pay $8 for a blanket and inflatable neck pillow. The airline will throw in a $10 off coupon for purchases of more than $30 at Bed Bath & Beyond stores.
Southwest, which isn’t unionized, will continue to grow, be profitable, not charge for baggage and get my business.
