JetBlue charges I think...$10 more, but I'm not positive. I know I paid it on my flight out to Cali in March.

I think most of the airlines are doing this now. I fly a lot on business and have not seen one that doesn't charge for extra space. A friend of mine who is tall was on a flight recently that was $100 per leg of a flight which she could not afford.<br /> <br /> If your legs are locked into a position for a few hours it is bad medically. I made this case to my employer backed up with a letter from my doctor and I am allowed to fly business class or the equivalent.<br /> <br /> Before airlines started charging for extra…

I havent heard about this extraneous fee... but I have paid upwards of 40 bucks per leg of each flight to sit in an exit row seat so that I can actually FIT in the damned airplane. Southwest doesnt allow you to chose seats and therefore, its RATHER unlikely you will get an exit row seat... Airtran charges 20 bucks per each direction and all other airlines that I have flown share that in common. Its bullshit that we would have to pay extra to fit in the fucking plane... shouldnt it be their…
