Democratic proposal for more airline aid stalls in Congress
Travellers check in at a United Airlines kiosk with help from a United employee in the main terminal of Denver International Airport Thursday, Oct. 1, 2020, in Denver. Earlier in the day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged airlines to delay 32,000 furloughs that began this week while Congress considered DeFazio's bill. American Airlines and United Airlines held back, however, saying they would wait for Congress to approve the money before recalling furloughed workers. Congress approved $25 billion in payroll aid six months ago in hopes that the travel industry might be stronger by fall. On top of that, American is furloughing 19,000 workers, United is cutting 13,000, and Alaska furloughed about 500.

Well it turns out your carry on luggage could be to blame. Ever since 2008, when airlines started charging passengers for checked bags, airlines have seen an increase on more carry-on luggage. The results of all those extra bags are longer lines, packed overhead compartments and boarding delays. However, one airline is looking to change all of that by charging fliers for oversized carry-on bags. Alaska Airlines said passengers with items exceeding the free carry-on limit are being charged $25 per piece.
