Want to Sit With Your Family on That Flight ? Get Ready to Pay More
May 23, 2012 8:41 PM 
If you’re flying this summer, be prepared to kiss your family goodbye at the gate. Even if they’re on the same plane.
We’re flying to Boston for the Memorial Day Weekend and got slapped with an extra fee on our tickets for “preferred seats,” but it was the only way that we could get seats together. And even with $125 in extra fees, we will be scattered on the flight from Chicago to Boston.
Airlines are reserving a growing number of window and aisle seats for passengers willing to pay extra. That’s helping to boost revenue but also making it harder for friends and family members who don’t pay this fee to sit next to each other. At the peak of the summer travel season, it might be nearly impossible.
Airlines say their gate agents try to help family members without adjacent seats sit together, especially people flying with small children. Yet there is no guarantee things will work out.
I’m old enough to remember buying tickets for the advertised price with no add-ons. Now, I feel like my pockets are being picked by the airlines.

Seeing a Legacy of Hope in a Maximum Security Prison
Most people picture “community service,” as people in orange vests along the highway picking up trash. These people are not there voluntarily, but working off a punishment for a crime that did not merit incarceration
Is Customer Service a Thing of the Past?
May 19, 2013 10:45 AM Where has the concept of customer service gone? It is certainly not showing up in many of the places that I've been shopping.

Strawberry Season is My Favorite Time of the Year!
May 18, 2013 4:30 PM I should be a member of "Strawberryholics Anonymous" because I LOVE strawberries and eat them year-round, every day if possible. I can't stop myself!
