My 14-year-old son, Xavier, fundraised his way to Washington D.C. He went with his class over spring break. Last year, when they announced the trip, students needed $30 cash for baggage fees: $15 there and $15 back. By the time the final arrangements were made, the fee was up to $25 each way. Xavier was a little irritated and rightfully so.Sprint airlines announced a $45 carry-on fee says the Associated Press. It's to encourage travelers to check their luggage for the $25 fee. Why all these fees? If costs are going up, why not include these fees in overall prince? Show us what we're paying for up front.
As it is, this might be U.S. Postal Service's big break; if they could ship travelers belongings for a cheaper rate than all these baggage fees, every hotel would have a USPS kiosk as the demand for their services would go up.
My side notes today:
- Sofia is not improving. Zarah, my ten-year-old daughter, has come to terms with her upcoming parting, crying about how the cat is suffering. I think we'll take some pictures and move forward.
- My cancer test results came back negative. No new cancer for me!
