I’m sure almost everyone is familiar with Delta’s new “pay with miles” option, and that has been covered ad nauseum on a variety of blogs and forums. What I find interesting about the press release is the end of it:

Ah, it’s that time of the year again, the day which you either love or hate, depending on how much you flew last year.

US Airways announced today that they would be charging $25 for a second checked bag for all tickets booked from today on for travel on or after May 5. Unlike United, though, this applies to all of their flights, which is really awful, but I’m sure United would have tried that too if it weren’t [...]
