After a recent trip involving the increasingly shady airline industry, I felt a responsibility to help my fellow travelers deal with the ridiculousness associated with the extra fees, baggage restrictions and overall crap the airlines make you go through these days. I’ve devised a short list for the average traveler to turn the tables and MAKE money while at the airport instead of having it wrenched from your unsuspecting fingers. Some of these are my own ideas and others belong to members of my family, and while currently untested, I have a feeling these tactics will prove very successful.
1. When on an overseas flight that requires $0.25 to use the restroom, kindly get the stewardess’s attention and tell her that, instead of you paying a quarter, she should pay you 5 bucks not to piss all over your seat.
2. Hit up Sam’s before you take your trip and stock up on snacks. As soon as the stewardesses start making the trip down the aisle distributing shots of Coca-Cola and charging 3 dollars for a bag of cheetos, get up, walk directly behind them and sell your treats for a clean 1 dollar. You’ll corner the market and should be able to clear 10-20 bucks before the crew wrestles you to the ground.
I have a few more trips planned this summer, and since the airline industry’s ability to conjure up outlandish additional fees is equal to Michael Bolton’s ability to create terrible music, I’m positive I’ll be able to add a few more tips in the future.
