US lawmakers question airline fees, seating policies
Several Democratic lawmakers want airlines to disclose the cost of handling a bag or changing a flight. Several lawmakers are questioning airlines and the Department of Transportation about the fees carriers charge passengers to check their luggage or select a seat. The queries came after two U.S. airlines — JetBlue Airways JBLU and United Airlines UAL — raised the price to check a first bag on their flights by $5 to $30.
