LadyRainfire -> And Luggage Fees were only the beginning... (5/27/2008 6:17:41 AM)
It's going to get to be a small, small world if we're not going to be able to fly... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap_travel/20080523/ap_tr_ge/travel_brief_airlines_fares;_ylt=AiesmWfQPImWySHqVLdPNbms0NUE Luggage fees were only the beginning. How many of us here fly regularly or even semi-regularly? And yes, this has inspired me to go make poll over Polls & Random Stupidity..... [:)] I'm curious now... That and I fly too much!

And I usually take two checked bags with me, but at 25$ extra takes it over 600. Anyone drive from TO to DC on a regular occasion and care to share .. Ill pay for the gas, food, etc?? ah well it was worth a try, yeah im a bit frusty right now lol Lucy Edited to tidy up the list

Lucy, I'm going to Saint Catharines this Friday, and what I found is that it is a LOT cheaper to fly into Buffalo then rent a car and drive into Canada. When I was getting my ticket, prices where going to cost me $770 US to fly into Toronto but only $440 into Buffalo. So any chance of looking into going into Buffalo and then driving to Toronto? It's only a couple of hours of driving up the QEW around the lake to Toronto.

laughs I can relate. My trip is one-way, I'm moving out to be with Lumus. Thankfully you have a much more developed rail system out east, it's not an option here. Flying is really the only option for the distance involved for me. Oh well, I enjoy flying! And the end result is well worth it! [:)]
