Fuel Costs Push Airlines to Raise Charges on Drinks, Checked Bags

Starting Aug. 1, US Airways will add nonalcoholic beverages to the growing list of amenities not included in a flight's base fare, thanks largely to increasing fuel costs.
Water, soda and juices will set passengers back $2. The cost of alcoholic beverages will increase from $5 to $7.

Air travel as we've come to know it is a thing of the past. Knock on costs are mounting in other industries as well. This country is unsustainable with oil over $110 a barrell. It's going to be a Mad Max USA within 2 years if the government doesn't pull it's head of its ass and solve some real problems.
