Honey, I blew up our savings

Want to fly to Florida? $200. Want to bring two suitcases? $50. Want to put more than 40 pounds in your suitcase? $25. Want a drink for the plane? $3. Want a trip to Florida? Far from priceless.

Don't forget your wallet when you're headed to the airport; they might charge you for that too.

It's understandable that a cost must be charged to fly across the country, but prices are becoming unreasonable. People use planes for easy and quick transportation, but at this point it's more reasonable to walk.

If I need to bring out the big bucks to fly, I expect to have one of the best rides of my life. Instead I'm crammed in a seat that's nearly impossile to fit in. If I take one stretch to the left, I hit the screaming baby next to me. If I lean backwards, I hit the lady with the barking dog.

But hey, at least I got a complimentary bag of chips! Oh wait...

It's time for the airlines to drastically cut their costs. Soon enough the population will find a cheaper way to travel and airlines will be left in the dust. The economy is rough right now, and a plane ride can't fit in most family's budgets. 

Want an overly priced and unenjoyable flight? Fly a plane!
