My most recent trip, sadly only a 23-hour trip to Springfield for my stepsister's wedding, was purchased on priceline.com. For some reason my flights up to New England were on US Air and the way back was on Continental. No problem, it doesn't really matter to me. But what drove me abso-fucking-lutely apeshit was the fact that US Air no longer allows ANY free checked baggage. None. I didn't think this would be a problem for me, since I wasn't checking anything, but boy was I wrong. How people get away with not checking bags is to bring all their fucking crap with them AS CARRY-ONS. Oh, great. So now the boarding process takes an hour because no one can find any space in the overhead bins and the seating process completely falls apart. US Air ended up checking a bunch of luggage at the gate, a practice that I found funny. So, people still got to check their bags, this time for free, and at the gate. Way to go, US Air. Fucking dumb douchebags.
Continental, on the other hand, has been quite lovely. None of the baggage bullshit, and I am a happy boy.
