"I&amp;#039;ve finally gotten used to the idea of having to pay more for seats with extra legroom and I&amp;#039;ve come to terms with having to pay for a soda on-board some airlines. But carry-ons? Come on! When airlines first started charging for checked luggage among other things, most customers were outraged but it wasn&amp;#039;t long before many began to exchange their oversized luggage for carry-on bags. When Spirit Airlines announced that it would start charging for carry-on bags (as much as $45 per bag each way!) two weeks ago, they took airline surcharges to new heights. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York quickly voiced his opposition to the fees by calling it a &amp;quot;slap in the face to travelers&amp;quot;, and announced his efforts to get the federal government to prohibit airlines from charging fees for carry-on luggage. Apparently, American, Delta, JetBlue, United and US Airways all agree with Schumer\u2014 all five have confirmed that they won&amp;#039;t smack on the carry-on fees. Today, Schumer is urging the remaining 21 airlines to follow suit, and he will meet with the CEO of Sprit Airlines tomorrow. As a result, will Spirit reverse it decision? For now, it&amp;#039;s up in the air. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
