I am currently carrying a bag that is so small even my netbook won't fit in it.
My big peeve is that the airlines are hiding these fees from fare comparison, which is not at all transparent. It's fine if I can figure out what the actual fare is going to be and make a fair decision, but not if they slam me out of the blue.
I've been flying airlines like JetStar, Tiger Airways, and AirAsia, who along with Ryanair and easyJet are the kings of fare unbundling, so I don't actually have a philosophical objection to it, just the way it's being used to obscure the true ticket cost.
