The 'Spirit' of À la carte

More items are being added to the À la carte model used by airlines. Then the airlines should be explicit about what is included in the base fare. Interestingly, the local grocery store at IIT Chennai would give us some free curry leaves and coriander leaves every time we bought some vegetables- a good way to sell perishable items and get loyal customers.

Less Baggage, Big Savings to Airlines - NYTimes.com: "Airlines in the United States started charging for luggage in 2005 by instituting a fee for passengers with more than one bag to check. Soon, even the first bag wasn’t free. Now, Spirit Airlines says it will charge as much as $45 each way for carry-on bags that are too big to fit under the seat."
