Does cpi count this baggage increase

[@rickhayes-oh2zm]

is airline fare price hikes in the cpi

[@blademan7671]

Add a carry on fee. Go further: make carry on fee higher than checked luggage, so people check in bags. It would speed up boarding and deplaning 3x. Wouldnt we all be willing to pay for that speed?

The government will give them more money😂

More people will carry on, filling up the overhead bins faster. You'll have to buy early boarding, or a premium ticket, if you don't want to check your bags. This is why I fly Southwest whenever possible.

BS. Nothing good about this

Jetblue & Allegiant will end eating American Airlines lunch...

[@ohboypeach]

[@JF238xLearning]

Airlines need to find ways to increase revenue to keep up with rising inflation and operating expenses or else they will go bankrupt or get brought out by another airline

I hate flying now. Flying for business is a waste of money. Zoom exist. Stop being stupid and wasting money.
