Airlines are now going to charge more for aisle and window seats near the front ("Want to sit up front? Be ready to pay up front," Nov. 29)
How many ways can they slice and dice fares to make an extra buck at the traveler's expense and discomfort?
The charge for checking bags has made boarding and seating a claustrophobic event as passengers jam everything above their seats but the kitchen sink.
I suspect this differentiation of airfares is the result of our looking for the cheapest fares on the Web.
Once we locate the most inexpensive fare for the worst seats, they then build up the fare and, like sheep, we go along with it!
