What a friggin joke. Airlines doing something to try to make money? We can't have that! We must investigate and tax them more!

Seat upgrade fees are already subject to the 7.5% excise tax because they are part of transportation.

Bag fees have been around for years in the form of 3rd bag charges or overweight bag fees. Congress never cared to investigate.

Change fees have been around for years. Congress never cared to investigate.
