True, but as I said in an earlier post, that is the airlines. If someone chooses to fly, they have to prepare to deal with this kind of stuff. Ultimately the airlines can create any policy, and charge what they want, for what they want, just like any company can. Just like Wal-Mart can charge what they want for their products, and create whatever return policies, etc., they want.

Not saying I agree with it, but it is the truth, no way around it.
