Two weeks ago, we wrote about Spirit Airlines and their new $45 overhead bin fee. Groans from potential customers havent stopped the airline from continuing with the planned fee, and other airlines watch and wait to see how we all respond to it (although thankfully, a few have promised not to follow suit). Still, this nickeling and diming seems to have no end.
And while we applaud Chicago Tribune travel editor Ross Werland and his recent success in beating the fees by packing for a long weekend using only a personal item, is that really the way we as travelers want to go? (The Chicago Cheap Travel Examiner certainly could not succeed in packing this light for even an overnight trip.)
Do we really want to be forced into buying a $75 windbreaker with 17 pockets so we can weigh it down with phones, iPods, chargers, cameras, toiletriesbecause where does it end? When will consumers say enough is enough? After we have to pay for toilet paper? For the space under the seat in front of us? For every time we click and unclick our seatbelts?
Our suggestion: call or email Spirit Airlines (or whatever airline is over-feeing you) and tell them theyll lose your business until the fees stop.

Instead, fly Southwest, which doesnt charge for the first two checked bags, or JetBlue, which doesnt charge for the first checked bag. The key to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our heads. Preparation and expending our travel budget carefully is a main concern for most families. Lowering consuming and costs, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!. In Chicago, Southwest flies out of Midway Airport; JetBlue flies out of OHare Airport.
