Thread: GreyHound Bus lines

Silly ******** charged me 5.00 per extra luggage . ok fine , I didnt know they was charging me extra to loose my luggage ..... Everything but my Lap top and cell phone is lost ....... I ripped into those guys this morning pretty hard, ..... Why in the hell cant they let us handle our own luggage ?

A bus lost your bags. Sorry but Hahahaha how the hell does that happen. The driver simply shoves your crap under the bus. He must have not liked you and left your shit sitting on the side of the road.

It sucks to lose your crap thou. The airlines once lost my bag then I lost my baggage claim crap so I was SOL. Then almost exactly one year later the bag suddenly showed up on my front deck.

well at least you got it back ...... I got the feeling my luggage is on it way to St.Louis Mo.

And now, American Airlines is going to charge $15.00 for the FIRST bag you check.

Yep. Brilliant move. Now everyone is going to carry on even more crap. Unreal. I'll be curious to see if the other airlines follow suit. If they don't it'll be short lived.

The term "artificially" was probably not the best choice, but the US (notwithstanding the oil producing countries) has always been well below others in terms of price for fuel.

I am not mad about the Charges , thats their rule , I can take it or leave it .... But what does piss me off is them losing my Luggage , wen I asked if I could watch it get loaded ....

I think people would be more "understanding" if they just added a fuel surcharge to the price of the ticket. The Airlines (most, anyway) just don't understand how to run a company.

you could wind up paying more on a fuel sur charge basis

I have found out in life , if people can afford it , they understand , if people cant afford it is outrageous

Maybe, but probably only 1/2 of the people that fly check a bag. So, theoretically, they could charge 1/2 of the $15 to everyone.

I agree - but the way the airlines present changes is pretty stupid. Charging for checking a bag to offset fuel? Doesn't make sense. Raise ticket prices. Add a fuel surcharge.
