A rundown from the AP of the recent trend toward baggage fees now also on international flights: "Baggage Fees Join Your Overseas Flights," by Joshua Freed. What's next, just a bag of pretzels on the next flight to Europe?

LOL Did you get a load of that lobster tail they were serving? And the canapés??? In 1967, when I was five years old, my father and I flew from Havana to Madrid on Iberia, in coach class, of course, as we were leaving Cuba under, shall we say, less than happy conditions. Well, guess what they served on that flight? Lobster tail! IN COACH! Now they're charging us for WATER on some airlines. Ah, progress.

Hello fellow flyers

This comment is to announce a new travel website that helps flyers find the luggage allowance on any flight or ticket class with relative ease. The site is very new and any feedback or comments on the site would be very welcome.

And now, the latest (or is it the first?) nominee for "Dumbest Moments in Airport History" comes from our very own backyard: A British comedian was detained at MIA (that's Miami International Airport, for those of you who haven't been blessed with a chance to sample its many delights) for... get this... "sounding Cuban."
