And it's not because the bags of pretzels or soda's cost a lot, it's because they "weigh too much" and the airline will save gas by taking away our precious pretzels. The airlines need to find better ways to save money without punishing their customers who pay a gazillion dollars anyway. BTW, I got direct airline tickets on mobissimo.com website mentioned in "Watch for More Ridiculous Gas Prices" and they were $150 cheaper than any other website I could find. Thank you!!!

With the cost of a flight as high as it is with no sign of doing anything but growing steeper you can guarantee that if I can not walk, drive, swim or float there than I will not be visiting. If flying was anywhere near as safe as it should be without all the nonsense maybe just then I would fly but that is not likely so surely they can count my bucks out and I am sure that it is less rare to not fly than you think. So far I see 2 out of 3 who don't. I as well have never flown but had thought about trying it.

Wow, I would think that's rare nowadays. The airlines, as you point out, don't seem to make much sense. We've had decent luck getting cheaper flights through hotwire, and some other online services, but as you mention, it never quite seems to make sense. I wish we had those darn transporters like on star trek by now! David – i can’t believe you’ve never flown! Wow, I would think that’s rare nowadays.

My family goes all the way up and down the east coast once a year on a 12 hour drive every year. Flying from one state to the other is almost always more expensive (with Hawaii and Alaska as exceptions). I have actually never flown in a plane.
