Can you imagine going to a restaurant, dropping your fork on the floor during the meal and being charged for its replacement? Of course not! What about filling up at the gas station and paying extra to have your oil checked or your windshield cleaned? Never! Yet when it comes to charging for things that should be included, airlines are allowed to get away with murder. There are fees to change a ticket, check a bag, pick a seat, pick a comfy seat and even to speak directly to someone on the phone when you want to do business with them. Lucky so-and-so's!
