Summary
Between 2018 and 2023, major airlines collected $12.4 billion in seating fees, with United surpassing checked bag fee revenue in 2023.
The Biden administration has prioritized eliminating junk fees, including seat selection fees, which have become a significant source of revenue for airlines.
Budget airlines Spirit and Frontier have been criticized for paying gate agents to enforce bag policies and collect fees.
Wake me up when they SLAM that money back into our wallets.
It’s only “our” wallets when the government collects fines and disperses it to politicians and billionaires.
I wouldn’t be against a site wide ban on the word ‘slam.’
So tired of that and other hyperbole in headlines. Let’s get rid of Czar too. Why are people in US Government positions Russian kings? Oh…wait…
Yeah, we better keep that one around for at least another four years.
Maybe it should just autocorrect to “scolds” because that’s what it means every time.
That would forcefully and loudly shut all future use.
SLAM KAZAM!!!
Don’t tell me anything is getting slammed unless it’s the airlines getting slammed up the ass so hard they puke up my money.
Oh no, I’m sure they’ll stop now
They will soon get a tersely-worded letter in the mail.
Nationalize them!
I can’t WAIT until Republicans take Over and we don’t have to Hear about this again because they WONT do ANYTHING to Protect Us! DEREGULATE THE AIRLINES!
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
