One more reason why air travel these days sucks.

Bay Area woman trapped in airport for eight days–all for lack of a $60 baggage fee

Terri Weissinger, a native of Sonoma County, Calif., has suffered a new scale of airport indignity: Seeking to start a new life in Idaho, Weissinger was condemned to eight days in the limbo of the San Francisco International Airport--because she was unable to pay the fee her airline assessed for an additional piece of checked baggage.

This one reminded me of the old folk song about Charlie who couldn't get off of the MTA for lack of one more nickle.

$30 in her pocket ? How did she plan to get anywhere in Idaho ?

Sounds like she needed a bus ticket.
