FULL HEARING: Airline Executives Testify About Consumer Fees To Senate Homeland Security Committee

[@MoMo-rf6ji]

Why do they need the zipcode to give me a price?. Flying from A to B that is what matters only

[@gisettehenriquez1348]

Not only are the checked baggage fees ridiculously outrageous but they are more Expensive the day of travel. The only explanation is PROFIT

[@kylesundquist5076]

I guess equitable is the new corporate buzz word.

[@holycrosslutheranchurchren6016]

Its amazing they say they are required by law to collect our personal information. What information are they collecting from the illegal criminals being flown all over our country.

[@bryan-rl9hd]

WOW! Please legislatures bring down the corrupt airline industry.

[@wisemenstillseekhim3114]

They sell email addresses...happens all the time..

[@pierce4026]

This would have been fixed by letting bad airlines go bankrupt instead of bailing them out

[@kenyac2469]

No one is talking about how not a single one of them commited to never using a.i. to take advantage of customers (charge them more) who are desperate and need to fly for a funeral or emergency. That is evil.

[@David-si8vq]

Well, unfortunately, that is the outcome of supply and demand. It’s the same reason plumbers charge much more to fix a burst pipe on a Sunday.

[@vilma-juancarlosjimenez-ga8948]

Also congress should prohibit the overbooking issues, this is a great part of the big problems this Airlines are doing, earning a lot of money making customers lose money because of this mismanagements!!!

[@wisemenstillseekhim3114]

Greed...

[@dorothyrobison9186]

The airlines will let a 300 pound person that needs 2 seats that paid a very small price for one ticket and puts them next to a person that paid a large fee for their ticket. Then they are offended at keeping the arm rest down. If I move my leg they are upset that their leg is in front of me. I’m supposed to make them comfortable; at the cost of their entitlement.

[@Tomcat304]

1:45:00. Each legacy carrier raising bag fees by the same amount is PRICE FIXING!!!

[@bonnymcdonald3985]

This time last year I booked a flight from Oklahoma City to Washington State to see my military son. My ticket was $200. I flew up, no fees with no checked bags. On my way back I had to check a bag that was a carry on flying to Washington. I questioned it with no satisfactory answer. This year I tried to book the same destination & the ticket this year was $650.00. Really? So I thought I’ll go see my daughter in Ft. Worth a 4 hour drive, the flight cost $400. Come on now. The flight last year was with United but American is the worst. They advertise a flight, a whole plane full of people but & then they don’t have a crew for the sold out flight. WTF?

[@porshemaysonet1540]

Why am I entertained by this

[@anderlynnbess6229]

I've paid extra money just to ensure that me, my husband, and our 7 year old daughter were all sitting together!

[@optimusprime1634]

Spirit was pushed out of Dulles by the big carriers especially United.

[@optimusprime1634]

These execs keep getting their salaries increase exponentially while prices have gone up. Even United has gone up by about 20% +. They all lie. They are ok with all the fees that they charge. Price of aviation fuel has remained steady but flight prices have gone up. All you have to do is just look at the salaries of those high execs year on year.

[@YA-nv5vw]

Pathetic. On the top frontier 85 $ for first bag.. Spirit 65$ first bag.. And they talking about ethics.. Happy to see them in this position.

[@AndyA1234]

If the $269 seat assignment cost is not all profit, as the airline rep refuted, what is it then? He must know the cost to make that assertion.

[@porshemaysonet1540]

Def why I only fly delta or JetBlue

[@BrianG850]

Their greed will now result in their undoing. F around and find out airlines!

[@runescape0063]

he is right about the ticket prices like one week it'll be cheap price i even got screenshots myself flight ticket one was i paid for last week was $171 but it was free checked bags and check luggage... then the next week which is now it's $274

[@AndyA1234]

Airlines make money like computer printer manufacturers do. Sell you a printer cheaply, at cost price, but make money on the ink. Similar to car hire company bait & switch tactics.

[@Ohnij]

What am i missing? Ive flown all these ailrines and never paid extra money from when i purchase the tickets online. Also, prices vary according to a number of variables. Every airline does it. Im noticing a common trend of people complaining about last second flights and changes. Frontier and Spirit have carryon and check bag fees. They always have. Its clearly stated when you buy the tickets. If its too much then you dont buy. Companies are in the business of making money. Shocker

[@optimusprime1634]

Who cares about starlink and wifi unless you are doing a 3+ hour flight ?

[@mariz292]

yuck

[@davidhardister8710]

WTF does he have an Ukraine flag? Ukraine is not the 51st state.

[@tiesjwan]

Trump loves these business models.

REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO CRITICIZE AIRLINES WHOSE UNION BEGGED, PRIORITY FOR 2nd PKG of COVID-19 FUNDING.

[@WOKE-di7mc]

Maybe Airlines should focus on QUALITY CONTROLS VS JUNK FEES. ALGORITHMS WORK 24/7 2 🖕HUMANITY🤖🚀
