Would you be just as happy to pay the extra $70 and
not have the phone booking, extra baggage, premium exit row seat or water?
The only people complaining about the charges for extra services are those who use the extra services. All the passengers who don't pack steamer trucks and aren't super-sized are happy with the cheaper tickets.
