The airline companies are ready to hike up the price of carrying luggage because of the increase in aviation fuel.
This rise in the cost of carrying cases is a nonsence . If the cost of fuel goes up fine, add it on to the price of the flight. but these surcharges are a con in the price war that is going on .
It will soon be cheaper to go on holiday with no baggage and buy clothes when you get there or if you go to the same resort, to buy some storage and leave your clothes and odds and ends there.
It has been joked about in the past but soon they will charge you by your weight which might be a good thing as my love of a cheap flight might persuade me to loose a couple of pounds stones. Could you imagines the Golightlies being charged extra it might well be that overweight people would charter their own fights .....Frying Panam

And an other thing while I am on my high horse. two weeks ago coming through Luton Annie had a bag and a poly bag with papers ect in.
The egit at security said only one bag allowed, only one bag is the rule at Luton it would seem that Luton is under a greater threat of a dual poly bag attack from terrorists than Glasgow. So we put her bag into the poly bag and that was allowed ,what the fuck is all that about!
It seems you could go in with Santa's sack and it would be ok but two poly bags your in the shit.
So it's true, size doesn't count
All this palava take the fun out of travel.
