If it was significantly cheaper, I'd be ok with that. - JD May 23, 07:41 2
- I don't quite get how it works as a discount for the airline - Reagen May 23, 08:00 1
  - It's not a cost-saving measure for the airline. It's the major airlines trying to compete with the discount/ultra low-fare airlines:Flair, Spirit, etc -- nm - ty97 May 23, 08:05
Just don't buy the super cheap fare that doesn't come with a carry-on (I don't) -- nm - ty97 May 23, 07:27
airfares are also *significantly* lower than they used to be. So the higher end experience is absolutely there if you want to pay for it. -- nm - Andie May 23, 07:24
this is very old man "back in my day" energy, i realize, but also my opinion is very valid. -- nm - colin May 23, 07:22
