When I read all the *****ing and moaning about air travel, I can't help but think that people bring it on themselves. They don't do the necessary legwork and research to improve their flying experience.
When I buy an Allegiant LAX-BIL roundtrip ticket for $150, I expect to end up in a cramped center seat and be treated poorly from start to finish. If I pony up another $100, I can fly Delta and have a very good experience. Its my choice.

That's kind of how I think too. I have an AA MasterCard and it gets me free checked luggage and, when I whip it out to pay for in-flight booze, they might charge me for one, but never for the next few drinks. I think it came with 50k miles when I got it too, so that's good for a RT domestic flight. I have an Amex Bus. Gold Rewards card too and, though it has an annual fee, it also has an airline credit, where they'll cover (IIRC) up to $150 of fees with any airline for checked luggage, drinks, upgrades, etc.
Yesterday I flew United from Houston to DC and bought four Scotches. They charged me for one. They were gonna comp that one too when my Amex wouldn't work. When I took out the AA card, they said they were gonna charge me. LOL.
