YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

At this rate, I am only flighting in extra ordinary circumstances.
I dont need stupid vacations across country. I cant drive or train, it aint worth it.
Haven't there always been rules about only 1 piece of carry-on, and there were limits for its size? It was simply never checked. Resulting in overhead boxes being full because some people brought multiple bags, resulting in some people being unable to store their stuff overhead. They're just enforcing the rules now right? Or has something actually changed?
They used to say "one carry-on and one personal item" (which included things like a purse or a backpack). On my shorter trips, I could travel without checking a bag under this policy.
Something actually changed and now there's a carry-on not included tier ticket. I wrote more in my other comment in the thread.

I mean yeah, that sounds like some bullshit. Make up a new rule that makes no sense but screws passengers out of their money. If someone complains, just give them an exemption. If they don't take their money.
It's like when Well Fargo got caught stealing a few pennies from millions of customers. Anyone who complained got their money back, but those that didn't (which was a lot) they just kept.
I just pay their premiums in order to avoid all the hassles you described. It's a bitch.
