I really don’t like to complain. I mean, I really, really don’t like to complain. But USAirways has – once again – infuriated me.
First, there was the virtual loss of eSavers. (No, USAirways, I don’t consider a $139 flight between Charlotte and Greensboro an eSaver. Who in their right mind would pay that to fly 90 miles when they could drive there in the same amount of time?)
And now, the Charlotte Observer is reporting that Charlotte’s airfares have dropped 30 percent over the last six years! That’s funny, because I used to be able to fly direct to my hometown to visit family for no more than $200 – maybe $230 around the holidays. Now, I can’t get a flight home for less than $300 unless I connect through Detroit on Northwest - thereby adding several hours to the trip. Huh.
Perhaps more infuriating is the fact that I can fly to California (ie, other side of the country) for less money than I can fly to the Northeast.
I don't even like to fly anymore. If it weren't for the unreasonable 13-hour drive, I wouldn't have anything to complain about.
Am I the only one in Charlotte who thinks the lower airfare claim is preposterous?
