Northwest Airlines is considering charging for the location of where sit on the plane, based on whether you’re near a window, aisle, avoiding small children, or obese persons. They may even charge for using the overhead storage above your seat. It’s not all that surprising. With fuel costs soaring and bankruptcies rising, airlines are desperate to find ways to cut costs or increase revenues. America West and US Air charge for their food. Most charge for headphones and alcoholic drinks in economy class. Where will it end?
Consider the fact that air travel has become a standard for getting from distant locales, rather than a luxury. Although it’s common and profitable, the airlines have huge investments in planes, equipment, maintenance, and personnel. They have to take steps to shore up lost income. This, despite the fact Southwest annually sets records for profits. This anomaly offering low fares and no-frills service has challenged the industry. Although they have no pre-assigned seats and provide peanuts for meal service, they have a loyal following and specialize in short flights to lesser-used airports. Thus proving that the general public cares little for the usual amenities and more for the cheaper fares.
Jet Blue, Virgin, Ted, and others have tried this discount approach, but never achieved the success of SWA. The remaining carriers have struggled using traditional methods and found themselves losing money every year for decades. So, does Northwest have the right idea? By charging for virtually every ‘extra,’ can they reverse a losing trend? Or will the public rebel and cause this new idea to backfire?
On the surface, there are more simple solutions. First class has always included the frills at a high cost. Economy is what it says. Perhaps there should be a third class, seated along with economy. Each seat is tagged as the passenger boards, telling the attendants which traveler receives which service. Or additional areas could be sectioned off, as in first class. Regardless of the system, passengers will not all be treated alike anymore.
But Northwest raises an interesting question: for what can an airline charge? If they can demand additional money to be seated a certain number of rows away from a five year old, the fun never stops. So, why not consider these charges:
- $5 for a seat in their waiting room at the gate.
- $5 to check each bag and $2 to retrieve them at the destination baggage area
- $25 if your seat becomes a floatation device, in the event of an emergency
- $7.50 for an oxygen mask that will automatically drop down
- $10 for a tray table in front of you
- $5 to use the rest room the first time, $2 for each successive trip
- $2 to hear the emergency procedures, $1 if you don’t
- $1 for water and $2 if you’re choking and really need it.
- $25 to be one of the first group down the chute, in an emergency
- $10 per minute for any service whatsoever, from a flight attendant
I know what you’re thinking: I’m crazy, but not so fast. I remember a day when I could pull into a gas station, buy a single gallon of gas (for 25 cents), and get my oil checked, tires inflated, and all windows washed for free! Today, I pay $2.50 a gallon and do all that stuff myself. Except for the tire inflation, which is 50 cents for five minutes. I’ll bet I could think of other services like free checking and other bank services that are now additional.
So the trend is clear. There’s going to be extra fees on airlines whether you like it or not. I’m afraid, like the gas station, it will spread to other areas. It’s part of the evolution of the industrial and technological age in which we live. By the way, I hoped you enjoyed this article, because it wasn’t free. Please use your charge card and send a dollar to the e-mail at the end and have a nice day.

How much entrapped air would I need to keep 200 kg/536 lb (troy) buoyant in sea water?
Vessel displacement is to be ignored. This is a serious question, and also a dream of a fool. So don’t tell me this – I already know that! I am considering the aquatic-circumnavigation of the worlds waterways by bicycle. The only apparatus floatation modification to the said bicycle would be the additional wheels and tube tyres to acquire the much needed buoyancy. Vessel displacement would be very little, if at all. I would be riding on water in place of walking on water!
200 litres of entrapped air, of course. That corresponds to about 7.07 cubic feet.
