Woman Chooses To Spend 8 Days In Airport Over Bag Fees

Southwest no bag fees.

Maybe she was scamming, maybe she wasn't. Haven't anyone of you given to a person who was asking for handouts whether they looked genuine or not??? We have all been scammed at some point in our lives, the government and big banks are doing it. If at least once in your life you give to someone, whether they are truly in need or not, I'm sure one day the favor will be returned...

"Airlines have blamed increased fuel costs as the reason behind increasing both the number and severity of these additional fees."

See! They should be sending me money... You know how much money I saved the airlines because I drive instead of fly? Where's my reward?!? I believe it's time for me to join the freeloaders camped out in NYC.

People think airline travel is an entitlement. It's not the airline fault this lady went thru this. I bet they hear excuses all day long on why someone can't pay the price. That's the problem nowadays. Let's point the finger at the big bad corporation trying to make a buck for their stockholders, and let's sit around and feel sorry for this woman and have the dumbass government intervene. This lady is probably the type that would go to a restuarant and order a T-bone, but only have enough money for a side salad, but expects the T-bone because the people next to her have one. This really pisses me off.

Gee what was she going to do when she got to Idaho for money? One can only wonder as dont think that there was much inbetween her ears except air. Why should she expect any more than what happened to take place. There are no free rides out there unless she expected some man to step in for help and what does he get in return? Get real lady go home or go someplace else and get on with your poor excuse for a life.

IF the airlines / orbitz had been upfront about ALL fees she would not have been in that position. hidden fees - add ons = unfair practice. the PTB should have acquesed to that and sent her on as someone there must have the authority to allow that on a case basis. adding $150 as insult is above and beyond. however - is she was departing from SFO - did she have no place to go besides hanging out at the airport? as usual I doubt all the facts have been presented.

Stupid person?? I am so glad your all so smart here at FlightAware. Not everyone is as brilliant as you all! Especially those who do not fly very often, but what the hell. Lets kick someone even further into the ground.

First for some of you Ivy League rejects, please do not tell me that between some of the airline unions ((ALPA) and the corporations, lets not mention the airports themselves there is not financial waste...That is pure bullshit and you know it. Yes the lines are not charities, but they also need to be more reasonable to peoples plights or at least guide them to agencies for aid. You know like Travelers Aid, the Churches, Red Cross... Not pass the bullshit TSA and line regulations to weasel out from assisting someone in need.

What bullshit...

The things people will do these days.

Everybody gotta fly like a big dog. When you got 30 bucks you shouldn't even be on airport property, where everything is overpriced by a factor of three. Try Greyhound. I think bags are free and they probably can beat 8 days arrival time. Airline travel is not cheap if the carrier is going to make money. Only been cheap when so many loose hundreds of millions. Duh!! Go figure.

That woman makes the list of 'stupid people at the airport'. Wow, to the nth degree.

Honey Badger woulda paid...

ra tarded

Why do people think that airlines are charities? Fees are the only thing keeping the airlines profitable and keeping them from having to lay off even more employees than before.

So...stupid.....
