Do you think that since oil prices have come back to earth that airlines will lift restrictions on baggage allowances? Especially the 23kg/50 lb limit per bag that all airlines imposed on coach class passengers who travel to and fro from the US as a cost cutting but revenue generating measure? Hi Mark,

The vast majority or people let the cart pass rather than fork over cash for a drink. Or at least that was the case on the 2 hour trips I take on US air.
