Not sure why people still fly American Airlines but if you do, you may want to know, they have a new scam.

So many of these airlines have gone shady. Maybe Southwest Airlines will bid for some of these routes.

Why you say this is a scam?

You fly a lot? You see the size of the luggage that peeps are putting in the overhead bins these days?

Phucking ridiculous bro ...if you don't get on the plane before these inconsiderates there won't be space for not even a pencil case to raass.

If the airlines are at fault it is for not explaining this clearly on their web site when tickets are being purchased. But it ain't no scam on their part. This is mofos trying to get over by buying cheapest fare and then bringing a large size grip on plane as hand luggage.

Phuckeries dat.

Chain reaction caused by the fact that one has to pay for checked luggage (per piece), so they try to cram as much as they can get away with into the overhead bin.

Yes, pay for checked luggage; pay for your seat (so as to avoid being seated in the middle, or next to the toilet); all this in addition to the exorbitant fares being charged of late.

Draps .....life is a bitch ....and then Madden's come fi yuh raass.

I know that the airlines are a set of teefin, gouging mudderphuckers who set prices and charge fees with impunity. But everyone has to pay, not just these selfish phuckers who hog the overhead bins with oversize baggage. The plane is designed so most peeps, if not all, can put an appropriately sized item overhead. But nowadays you see ppl pulling down two, three pieces of good size luggage and wheeling them off the plane.

Selfish phuckeries dat.

Stay tuned, once the legalities are sorted out, the standing-room-only "super budget" fares will be launched. I'm dead serious.

With these cheap fares, passengers don't have the right to store their bags in an overhead bin.


If you try to bring anything that won't fit under your seat, either on purpose or because you didn't know about the restriction, you'll have to check it at the gate. That means you'll have to pay the standard baggage fee, usually $25 for your first checked bag, plus an additional $25 penalty.
