Buy a better plane ticket and you don't pay baggage fees. |

Buy a better plane ticket and you don't pay baggage fees. Well, it'll take a much bigger luggage fee to come out ahead. I bought our two tickets in coach and paid a bit extra per seat to get the Emergency Exit row for each of us. These have sufficient legroom to get comfortable. The tickets were $640 each *less* than first class. My wife has a big rolling suitcase that if she packs carefully stays under 50 pounds and if she is a little over, the shoes end up in my smaller, lighter suitcase. So, what would we be missing in first class? Some crappy microwaved airline meal, as opposed to the sandwiches and snacks we'll buy in the airport to take on board. Airline travel is a big enough rip-off as it is. Why hand them even more $$$ to be inconvenienced with a ****ty means of travel. You might want to look into buying or renting an RV. You can take all the luggage and food you want while saving big bucks by not staying in crappy, bedbug ridden hotel rooms. :-) |

Airline travel is a big enough rip-off as it is. Why hand them even more $$$ to be inconvenienced with a ****ty means of travel. Quite simply, they treat you nicer. A first class seat is still bigger than any coach seat, you don't have anyone with their elbow in your lap. You get on and off the plane faster, lines at the counter are pretty much non existent, baggage comes off the plane first. They usually have an express line through TSS, free drinks etc. BTW those baggage (and other) fees add up pretty fast. It is a ****ty way to travel but less so up front and I am willing to pay to be treated nicer. If you want to be cattle prodded back to your cheap seats and be uncomfortable for 5 hours or so, go for it. I might be OK in an exit row seat going from here to Atlanta but not to the west coast. |
Good luck ...
