Air Fares Instantly Becomes Costlier

Earlier this week, American Airlines instituted a fee policy for the first piece of checked luggage. Unfortunately for passengers, this is not the only added expense to air travel. Now there is an added increase to the air travel ticket:

“Continental Airlines and US Airways matched United’s airfare hike of up to $60 roundtrip late Friday night, leaving Northwest Airlines as the only major that isn’t on board yet.”

With the soaring cost of fuel, airlines are struggling to maintain profitability and trying to find creative ways to generate more revenue. If there is air travel for you in the near future, check the web site of your carrier regularly. The airline policies are subject to change daily - and undoubtedly, more creative fees will be initiated soon.

Well, in light of all the gas hoopla and the airlines prices (along with fuel cost for airlines) I truly believe it is time for the government to invest in light rail and long distance Hi-speed rail through out the country and large cities. This would diminish a great demand for cars and plains in the future and would allow for the US to conserve fuel, to no depend on foreign countries to provide such fuel. What do you think.
