Airlines Aren't Pulling In As Much Dough Off Checked Bags Fees As They Used To
You might already have suspected that the reason why you engage in a fierce, almost
Hunger Gamesesque competition to stow your carry-on is because no one wants to pay to check bags. That free-for-all has resulted in U.S. airlines making less money off baggage fees for the first time since they started assessing them.

Survey Finds Best & Worst Airlines For Redeeming Rewards Miles
It's incredibly easy to pile up airline miles. I think I just earned 400 miles for merely mentioning this fact. But as you may have already discovered, it's not always so simple to actually redeem those miles. A new survey looked at dozens of domestic and international carriers to find which ones were more likely to have seats available for rewards travel.

American Airlines Regrets That Whole Lifetime First Class Pass Thing
Back in the day, American Airlines thought it was a pretty good idea to sell unlimited first-class travel for a lifetime. For a few hundred thousand dollars, travelers could hop on a jet any time, and for an additional fee, so could a companion of their choice. Turns out that costs American a lot of money, and they're trying to shut the whole thing down as a result.

Be Ready For A Hassle When Flying With Your Snub-Nosed Dog
A number of airlines
already have bans on allowing snub-nosed dogs like pugs, bulldogs and boxers to be checked in their planes' cargo holds. However, traveling with one of those dogs in a carry-on bag in the cabin should be just fine. The problem is, not everyone at the airlines is aware of this fact.

U.S. Airways CEO Really Wants To Get His Merge On With American Airlines
To date, the folks at U.S. Airways
have been quite coy about their intentions regarding a possible marriage to struggling-but-adorable American Airlines, saying things like "we're not opposed," and that they "wouldn't rule it out," but all that double talk may have ended with the latest hot-and-heavy chatter from U.S. Airways' CEO.

airlines joined with Delta in attempting to hike fares by $10 to $20? Guess what, everyone? Some went ahead and did that. American Airlines and United Airlines threw their pricey hats in the ring.

American Airlines Voucher Disappears In The Mail, Airline Shrugs
The original copy of an air travel voucher has mystical powers, and flights can only be scheduled using the original copy. At least, that's the impression we get from Ashley's experience. When she went to redeem her voucher, she mailed it in, as required. Only the tracking number hasn't been scanned in the USPS system, and there's no sign of the voucher.

American Airlines Staffer Refuses To Let Me Fly Twice In One Day
We've posted numerous stories in recent years about airline staffers booting passengers from flights or having them detained after the plane lands for reasons that seem pretty petty. And here's the story of a Consumerist reader who says he wasn't even allowed on his plane because an American Airlines employee had issues with
both of his passports, even though the TSA had no problems.

Puppy Vs. Airline Personnel: How Misinformation Messed Up Our Vacation Plans
On its surface, the facts of David's story are the very definition of a "first world problem." His family missed part of their tropical vacation because misinformed American Airlines personnel wouldn't let their puppy on the plane. They incorrectly believed that St. Maartens, their destination, requires incoming animals to be microchipped. It's true that no one has to vacation with their pet, but sometimes transporting an animal by air internationally is necessary due to a move or a family emergency. And when that happens, hope that you don't encounter the American Airlines employees who cost David's family a lot of money by keeping them off their flight.
