Paper or Plastic?

Paper or plastic? You better have some cash or a credit card if you want to check-in a bag at the airport these days.

Yes, some airlines are charging $15 to check in the first bag. This fee jumps to $50 or $60 for the second piece of luggage and more than $100 for the third. Wow!

The only free piece will be your carry-on luggage. Personally, I don't care because I NEVER check in bags anymore. You never know WHEN or WHERE your bags will end up.

But I'm sure a lot of others will be inconvenienced. What do you think? Are the airlines nickel and diming us to death or are they just trying to SURVIVE with these monstrous gas prices?
