Promotional campaigns just keep getting weirder. The latest: A small town in Iowa that had its sheriffs “arrest” a pair of motorists with out-of-state plates and offer them a free night’s stay. Predictably, accusations of abuse of police power have been flying—though not from the “arrested” couple, who noted that the town is “darling.” Mission accomplished?

Comair flight 4949 from New York JFK to Philadelphia was late 92.59 percent of the time during the month of October 2007 according to the Department of Transportation. Gee sounds like 2 flights all month for this flight were on time. Consider taking the train, actually consider taking another airline.

Once again airlines are thinking of ways not to raise prices but in reality make you pay more money for your flight. Here’s the new Southwest Airlines Program in regards to checked luggage effective Jan 29.
“This will affect less than 2% of our customers,” Mainz said. “In that sense, it’s really not going to be a major impact to the customers.”
Southwest Airlines Co., seeking to increase revenue without boosting fares, will begin charging customers who want to check more than two pieces of luggage.
Southwest now allows three checked pieces per passenger, with size and weight limitations for each bag. Starting Jan. 29, a third checked bag will carry a $25 fee, with higher charges for additional pieces, according to the airline’s website.
The shift will help free luggage-hold space to carry more cargo — an area the largest low-fare carrier is targeting to raise revenue, spokesman Chris Mainz said. The fees themselves probably won’t generate much revenue, he said, without being specific.
“This will affect less than 2% of our customers,” Mainz said. “In that sense, it’s really not going to be a major impact to the customers.”
