In order to save some money...
Have you heard of any funny money saving ideas our beloved airlines have instituted?
For example I heard AA saved $20k a year in fuel costs by removing the olives from salads.

I thought this was going to be about silly things travelers do to save money. So I'll post one of those.
I was reading another board and people were talking about how they take their own coffeemakers to Vegas to save money
