Bring back the Pony Express!
Or avoid flying United!
Next up: charging to use the restrooms.
Are they going to put those bus station bins over head where you put in a coin and pull the key out?
FLY SOUTHWEST WHERE EVERYTHING IS FREE FREE FREE
They need to also charge for use of the toilet, and then a fee for consuming the air contained within the plane. Maybe after that, they can begin charging when people drive or even stay home instead of fly too!
So glad I stopped flying in 2012!!!! I loved it back in the 1970s and then after 2001, simply endured it due to work and tried to avoid getting arrested.
Screw this I always get the lowest fare tickets through Expedia or some other portal, and I have never flown anything but Delta.
I will not fly, if I need to go I drive. If I can’t drive, I stay home. Yep I’m Retired and loving it!!!
Spirit Airlines has been doing this for a while. One carry-on that fits under the seat, something like 18”x12”x10”. It can be done if you’re traveling casual.
Made plans this week both trips are on Southwest. Flew United to Paris for thanksgiving, got back to SFO 1 hour early, sat on runway for 1.5 hours after a 12 hour flight.
Cattle haulers don’t have overhead bins, why should airlines?
Can't do that... too many international travelers connecting to domestic flights without the coinage. Now, the lights and air blowers, on the other hand...

Do they still let the passengers use the seats and the engines? Seems like there should be a fee for those, too. And what about the oxygen?
Save for a seat assignment. Moo! Moo! Moo....
So an old FAA crash investigator told me one of the major causes of death from a commercial airplane crash, other than the impact, is when the luggage bins fall onto the passengers, snapping their necks.
They should eliminate carry on baggage.
I always travel light. Carry on/duffel bag and almost never luggage. These clowns lose my luggage anyways and they’re all clothes.
Besides, it’s the airlines fault for allowing idiot passengers and their obviously luggage “bags” and try to pass it on as a carry-on which is a major inconvenience for the rest of us who can stash our small bags in the bin.
