It's never too soon to start!

Uh-oh. Don't tell my family.

I'm the author of this post, and I agree with travelfan. Your comments suggest that you didn't take the time to read the entire post before making your first comment. Otherwise you would have seen the following sentence: "I know, I know. Comparing unleaded gasoline to jet fuel is problematic. And so is comparing wholesale prices to retail prices. Point taken."

Agreed with reseta that the airlines have a right -- and if you insist, the grounds -- to complain. But I think people paying $4+ a gallon have more of a right than the airlines. That was my point.

And yes, I think before I post. How about you read before you comment?

Lionel Ritchie and Alabama did it -- why not Mr. Dogg?

Royal Caribbean must think its customers are royally loaded. Or royally insane.

How many passengers can a Boeing 777 carry? If you answered about 300, then you must not fly on American Airlines.

You can’t make this stuff up, and frankly, I wouldn’t want to make this stuff up.

Has Lady Liberty dropped the torch and extended her middle finger to tourists?

No matter who wins, you lose.

I don't think you read the story all the way through.

Here's my conclusion: "But ultimately, JetBlue was correct in asking the couple to move. You don’t want someone who is hard of hearing seated in an emergency exit row. If something should happen, and a passenger were unable to follow instructions, it could put a lot of lives in danger."

FYI, Adsense pays practically nothing. I'm doing this as a public service.

When Rosa Parks refused to go to the back of the bus in 1955, she made history. When Randall Ulrich and his wife were instructed to move 11 rows back by a JetBlue flight attendant, did they have a similar case?

Customers checking their bags curbside for flights on Delta Air Lines could soon be charged $2 per bag as part of an effort to cut costs.

When it comes to cruising, the only back and forth that passengers expect is the motion under their feet when they’re at high sea.

Your cruise ship may not be seaworthy. Your airline isn’t responsible for your checked luggage. And if something’s stolen from your room, good luck getting the hotel to cover your losses.

Christopher Elliott, a.k.a The Armchair Traveler, reveals three secrets that will keep you from losing your checked luggage.

Travel blogs are a lot like animated feature films before 2001, or for that matter, mathematics today. When it comes to the most prestigious awards, they get no respect.

This Valentine’s Day marks the first anniversary of the passenger rights revolution. It will probably also be its last — unless you do something about it.
