US announced today that they are pulling all IFE on domestic flights. Hope DL does not follow suit...I love my seatback TV (when it works).
Personally, I don't like the nickel and diming but understand that's it's a necessity and would rather pay for checked luggage (since I rarely check any) and inflight food than have higher fares (which kills my travel budget).
I wonder when airlines are going to start charging a fee for "infant in arms" and pets (I am NOT drawing a parallel between infants and dogs here...each adds weight to the aircraft and represents a revenue opportunity)?
I also think the fees will be added, though I don't think the nickel and diming is necessary. I think there will be more fees (even fees for carry-on bags...), and I wouldn't be surprised to see a fee for infants. Pets are already fee-d.
