I liked the "old days" much better. No overhead bins, no carry on luggage, every bag checked without additional baggage fees. Planes boarded and deplaned in less than 1/2 the time.
Which brings up another pet peeve: I weigh 190 and if I check 2 bags of 30# each for a total of 250, I pay for my seat + $75-95 for baggage. Then, the 350# passenger crams in next to me with fat rolls hanging into my "space" and just pays for the ticket. I suggest that airfare is charged for the seat + per pound over the average weight including baggage which, of course would go over like a lead balloon. OK, all the bleeding hearts can pile on now
