Flying on airplanes is already expensive and now passengers are discovering that, “even the cheap seats on airplanes come with a fee.” In an article found on the Wall Street Journal online, Scott McCartney describes how airlines are now tricking passengers into thinking that the only seats for purchase are in bad locations on the plane. As a result, they are paying extra money for first class and seats with extra legroom that cost extra. McCartney rightfully points out that, “Overall, airlines look at seat fees as another way to generate revenue in low-margin industry. These days, checked baggage, meals, early boarding and flight changes on standby all come at a price.” Especially for those who fly often for business, these little charges can definitely add up. A seemingly all inclusive package may not be within reach anymore, but one thing is for sure, the earlier you book a flight, the better deal you can get!
