Re: Airline Baggage
I was so upset when I saw this on a recent trip. Lucklily for our next family trip in October flying on American, we have our tickets bought before the deadline (May 12th) so we can still check two bags each. This will be the second trip we've bought a seat for each of us (5), so we usually end up okay. But that first trip, we had an entire suitcase full of baby food, diapers, & wipes for our then 9-month twins on a 10-night trip.
I also saw they lowered the weight limit from 70 lbs to 50 lbs per bag and only allow 1 carry-on per person. This is getting ridiculous!!! Like someone else already said, I'm going to have to buy smaller luggage just so it can be full enough to be stable when handled but still be under the 50 lb limit.
I could understand the weight limit when it was based upon worker's comp issues, but not the fuel costs. I'd rather pay an extra $5 or $10 or $20 a ticket and be able to use one good bag and have everything I need.
