A man from Buffalo, NY had to cancel his flight with American Airlines when he got sick and was told that he’d have to pay a $200 change fee.

I’ve mentioned many times in the past how I like Southwest for their friendly customer service, unorthodox boarding procedure, no change fees and not charging bag fees.
I recently received an e-mail about Southwest’s Transfarency. With Southwest they claim to have low fares and nothing to hide. So things included are 1st & 2nd checked bags, no change fees and free live TV.

If you ask me, the news of what Spirit will be doing over the holidays is possibly as low as an airline can go. (Unless Ryanair does charge to use the toilet one of these days!)
Well maybe I’m blowing this a bit out of proportion but to me this is just not cool at all. Continue reading Spirit’s Crummy Holiday Fee Increase
