The price of oil is skyrocketing this summer and good luck to those with travel plans !

I just booked a United flight online yesterday and their website says $25 for second bag....so I've decided to not check a bag. Ridiculus!

I plan to drive this summer. Even with the gas prices its still cheaper for me to drive home than to fly.

The American Airlines stock went from a High of $10.20 two weeks ago to $6.25 at closing.

Higher oil is here to stay.

I travelled recently and this is a huge pain in the butt....Its so annoying to wait behind all these idiots trying to not check as much as possible...Before you use to be able board and get off the plain in a decent time. Now, it takes atleast 30-45 min just to do that because everyone is too cheap to check!
Will and extra $15-$45 really make that much of a difference, especially if you don't travel often?

I have to fly again on Monday...Im not looking forward to it walaahi, in fact, Im dreading it.
