Yes, but make it an all inclusive charge. The airlines have been doing it for years. They are just not willing to raise the perceived price of the ticket for fear that if they charge 20, 30, 50 bucks more than the competitor then the pax will go to the competitor. Even if the passenger pays more at the other airline after being nickeled and dimed.

I flew on Iberia from Frankfurt to Barcelona and payed my 2 euro for a 0.3 liter soda. The drink service took over an hour due to the payment fiasco and I couldn't pay 2 euro more for a second. There was quite a lack of convenience that I had come to expect from air travel because of this one small change.

As for baggage, if I see / pay the direct cost in transporting my baggage and it doesn't make it I will demand my full or partial reimbursement and then my business will be taken elsewhere.

Exactly. People have been paying for this all along - the only difference is now they are intimately familiar with how much they paid for that particular portion of the service. If the bag doesn't show, they'll want the money - this will add more people in line to be serviced by underachievers and in the end gives 'em all a perfect reason to go fly on SWA next time..

Its **** poor management at its finest.

How many of you guys sit on congested ramps burning hundreds if not thousands of pounds of fuel every day? Can't fix that though, that would require some brainpower and hard work.
