On: Airlines will make $118B in extra fees

They still should be way cheaper if you don’t care about the seats and/or only have hand luggage

I wish they would enforce the "hand luggage" size a bit on entry to the plane, last time I flew around 2017 it was a complete shit show in regards to the overhead storage compartments.

The budget airlines are pretty strict on this, but the regulars not so much.

They do, or at least when I last flew they were charging people who had carryon bags that would not go beneath the seat.

(I had a backpack that was slightly oversized, but they did not seem to care that much.)

I guess it depends on how full a flight is. A empty one they don't really care - a full one they care more. But also if its a cheap or "premium" airline.
