<p>Re: #12 above–I KNOW that they were entitled to the carry-ons, although technically the parents were doing all the carrying. Don’t you get the absurdity of it? If it happens this week, as opposed to last week, they pay nothing, while you pay $15 for your one 24 inch suitcase? If the point of the baggage fee is to save fuel by discouraging baggage, is this the way to do it? I would think that by discouraging carry-ons, it would make security go much faster and it would lessen the AC and lights on the plane used while waiting for all that stuff to disembark with the passengers!</p>
