Leav'n on a Jet Plane


If any of you have flown recently, you will have noticed that the quality of customer service has significantly decreased. It seems like after they hand you the boarding pass they give you the finger and say "NEXT!"
Then there's all the extra charges. For a seat on this plane it will cost you twice as much as it did last year that the same time.
Here are some other sayings you may hear while on your next flight:
"For a small bag of snacks that will be $3.00:
"For you're own personal bottle of water, it will be $6.00"
"For a set of headphones it will be $6.00 for regular t.v. programing and $8.00 for the movie package."
"For the use of the latrine, that will be $10.00."
"Yes, you idiot, there is a charge for your bags now. Don't you know this you moron!"
"Oh, let us not forget, you want to breath while on this flight, it will be an extra $200.00 for our filtered air."
I'm surprised they didn't charge me for the barf bag I had to use on the way home. Got to love the turbulence. :)
Fortunately, United had a little higher quality of customer service then Frontier. I remember when I was making the reservations that the website asked if I wanted to upgrade. Little did I know that the upgrade allowed us to check our bags for "free." I'm glad I didn't pay for it, because Frontier doesn't have any differences with their seats. So even if I had paid for the "economy plus" we wouldn't have gotten more leg room. Frontier sucks!
So beware next time you plan a trip, their going to try to nickle and dime you every chance you get!
