LOL!
Don't you just love 'The Onion'?


" . . . . additional charges would also apply, including a $15 fee for every piece of luggage customers have inside their bedroom closet.

"We are confident that these new measures will not discourage customers from flying with American Airlines," . . . . we'd like to remind our customers that there is a 'discouraged-from-flying-with-American-Airlines' charge if they do in fact choose not to fly with us."

This new charge really sucks. I recently flew Air France to Turkey so imagine my surprise when I received a bill from American Airlines. (:|
