We will now just take an empty water bottle with us and fill it at the water fountain or at one of the food counters before we board.

Do I like all these new fees and charges? No! I do think charging for the 1st bag is wrong. But for the 2nd bag, well, I am just going to have to be more conservative. Also, I can remember in the 80's when it would cost $400-$500 to fly from here to FL or TX. We have been spoiled by low airfare for so long and now the airlines can't do it anymore.

I certainly understand the need for them to make money, but they should just RAISE TICKET PRICES! I don't understand their desire to make the travelers feel cheated by charging for such petty things. Instead of charging $2, just raise each ticket by $2! They'll end up making more that way because now I think a lot of people will pass on the beverage.
sorry, rant over.
