PAY MORE FOR A SECOND BAG
The list is growing... Add Continental to the ranks of United, Delta, Northwest, and US Airways who will be charging an additional fee for a second checked bag starting next month.

For frequent business travelers, it's probably not a big deal... Many of them just fly with overnight bags anyway...

For families, though, it's a problem. Julie and I already know we'll have two bags each when we fly to Hawaii this June. One each for us, and then Gracie's pack-and-play and car seat, since she's not using a ticket.

Look, they already raised ticket prices, eliminated food, and on some airlines are charging for pillows and blankets... do they need to do this too?
