50 bucks irks me to, but the fact is that they could really nickel and dime us on more than just the annual fee and the customs taxes. Personally, I want nonrev benefits codified in our PWA so that they cannot change them on a whim; fees, allotments etc.
Funny, I have taxes and fees payroll deducted every time I take a flight! Maybe I'm wrong bu those are the same taxes and fees any rev pax would pay. Example a round trip ATL-CUN for me and Misus is $123.46
The only thing DAL gives us is the ability to ride in open seats that no one else bought....and a free meal and drinks if on the chance you get Biz/First.
