I got another email from Delta airlines telling me that they have changed the time of my trip. WTF this is the 2nd change. Months ago I booked a trip for my parents to Puerto Rico and the same thing happened (this is Airtran). Basically we paid a higher price to book non-stop flights. By the time we're about to go, they say there's not enough seat for the flight and they moved us to a one-stop flight. If we wanted a one-stop flight, we would have booked it long ago at a lower price. They didn't reimburse the money because they said that the price at that time for the one-stop price is higher. Unfortunately I have to deal with these as long as I travel by airplanes.

Check out easyjet baggage policy:

Each passenger is permitted

  • one standard piece of hand baggage to maximum dimensions of 56x45x25cm, and
  • Up to 8 pieces of checked-in hold baggage to a maximum combined weight of 20kg. Each piece of checked-in hold baggage will incur a fee, which is payable online or at the airport at a higher charge. A fee per kilo for excess weight is charged at the airport prior to departure
So by understanding English, that means you are allowed up to 8 suitcases but all of them have to have a combined weight of 20kg. So on average each one is about 2.5 kg. You can have one piece that weights 20kg and that's it, no more. That is very misleading and people might think you are allowed to check in 8 pieces of baggage each weighting 20kg. Ryanair is even worse... I would never fly that shit. I don't go to Europe on a vacation with just my pair of shoes, okay!

Airlines are also talking about adding fees for restrooms and crap like that... yeah keep milking and lose customers!
