Uh huh!

Being a college student who flies back and forth to school, vacation and home again; jetBlue has become my best friend.

Everyone was aware [and angered/annoyed/shocked…mostly annoyed] when American Airlines recently implemented their new bag fees [what are you supposed to travel with then? :( ] in order to counter the rising oil prices.

And we all knew that it definitely meant that the other airlines would soon enough follow suit, and sure enough US Airways and United did just that!

But did I think it would affect me so quickly?
No, as naive as that may sound.

jetBlue has been the best airline! They offer free entertainment, roomy seats, inexpensive fares and free snacks-- their personable employees are just an added bonus. But I should've known something fishy was going on when I booked by flight for Cali in March and I noticed that they no longer gave free headphones. Or when I booked my flight back to NYC in May and I noticed that I had to pay extra in order to sit in the front [I don't do back seats].

However, I recently bought my ticket to go back to school... uber excited because I caught a nice deal for only $99.00 and grabbed it ASAP because I knew it wouldn't be there if I turned my head. After purchasing the ticket, I'm totally relieved that I don’t have to worry about anything else school-related until that time comes around... then I print out my e-Itinerary.
And what am I greeted with?

A WARNING OF A SECOND BAG FEE!!! I don't know how to pack light! LOL, but I will make sure I learn how to 'cause I ain't paying shiiiit! [I’d rather my $$$ go towards shoes, clothes or stay in my account, respectivelyJ]

So for all of you flying back to school… learn some packing strategies!
