Plus they're financially penalizing customers to dare to travel with luggage. What geniuses!!!

First of all, what global warming? The average temperatures have been falling for the last 10 years. Also, considering there was a thing called a "mini ice age" from about 1400 to 1800, comparing today's temperature to the past is distorted. Here is a link to more info: http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/news.php Second, the Travel Insider had a good analysis of how much this would really save in his weekly newsletter. The final numbers? ANA will save about a quarter gallon of fuel on a three hour flight. Wow--they save a whole 50 cents worth of fuel!
