The American airline Allegiant Air is to start charging passengers for carry-on hand baggage - prepaid on line 10 USD, paid at airport 35 USD.

Airlines are now realising that passengers are becoming more adept at avoiding checked-baggage charges so are turning to other revenue streams.

If Allegiant goes ahead with this and there is not a severe passenger reaction against it then a pound to a penny it will become widespread across the industry in no time at all; guess who will be looking at this with great enthusiasm.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.

Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
