you know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.
Preparing to travel across the country.
I’m taking 3 kids from sea to shining sea. I’m making the mistake of flying on United Airlines. It’s not like putting on the meat tuxedo at the lion exhibit at the zoo, but as far as mistakes go, United Airlines is high up the food chain.
The company use to promote itself as flying the friendly skies. Now I think it’s more like bend over at 36,000 feet while we have our way with your wallet.
Being a Southwest traveler, I am use to the bags fly free campaign. Bags fly free. Three simple words that actually mean something.
I guess I took free bags for granted. I won’t again.
United airlines doesn’t care. They are aeronatical pick pockets, charging me after they have all ready charged me.
A bag costs $25.00. A 2nd bag is $35.00.
Any bag weighing more than 50 pounds costs extra. United Airlines has created a traveler’s catch 22. If you cram everything into one bag you pay more. If you don’t want to pay the weight penalty, they charge you for a 2nd bag.
Way to go United Airlines. Way to help your customers in a time when most of us our losing our jobs and our homes and our teeth because we can’t afford good dental care.
United Airlines Bastards!
So I am traveling with this band of flying charlitans as I try to get my family of four across the country.
Four people. It’s great for a game of bridge, but it’s terrible for air travel on United.
Four bags could add an extra 150 dollars to the trip. That’s insane! That’s a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, or Alcatraz Island.
But on United, it’s a chance to bring underpants and a toothbrush on a flight.
Sad ass business practice dont you think?
That’s like ordering grilled cheese and paying one price for bread and extra for the cheese.
Oh you want that warm? “Hey Jaques, how much is a warm grilled cheese? The losers in seat D-9 want their grilled cheese melted.”
United Skum Bags!
The question is, how to get what you need to where you are going while not wasting all your available funds at check in.
“Dad can we have ice cream at the pier?”
“No honey, you packed a sweat shirt for the trip remember. That weighs 1.2 pounds.”
Thanks United Airlies, now my kids hate me and won’t wear sweat shirts.
United Airlines is like the Ex wife you can’t divorce again.
I paid damn near a $1000 dollars to fly across the country. It seems like my bags should get to fly with me, don’t you think?
That’s like paying for a happy meal and then being charged extra for the coke and the toy. That doesn’t make me happy. How much for the sad meal? That’s air travel on United. Sad.
The airlines are flying thieves. They stick you in a cattle car in a seat brought to you by the letter L. You have no leg room, no wiggle room, no rights. They don’t feed you, they don’t entertain you. They wake you up just as you are falling asleep to announce somthing about wanting me to be more comfortable and appreciating my business. Of course their plane is so loud and their intercom so terrible it’s like trying to communicate under water with a dixie cup and a string. I’d rather they never talk to me and just bring me some food.
Prisoners in solitary have a better dining plan.
So, in this flying tube of defficiencies, you get to stare out a tiny porthole at the vastness of blue. It leaves a lot of time to wonder if the bag you had to pay for is even under the plane flying to the same city as you.
That would be the greatest insult of all. Pay extra to lose your bag. I wonder how much they would charge me to find it?
I hate United Airlines.
You want me to hate you less? Do something for me, the consumer, the guy who is putting gas in your tank.
Give me a deal, give me a break, give me one less thing to worry about while your old bucket of bolts weezes and coughs up a lung through the sky.
Just let me pack a bag for my trip and don’t financially harass me about it.
Hey here’s an idea to save money. Stop serving me peanuts
Oh wait, 2,000 miles and all i got was a thimble of water.
Thanks for the ice.
How much was that again?
United Airlines. More than just terrible.
They’re crazy.
