I rather like Horatio’s solution. Then again, my husband’s thin.

We booked a flight for 4 from Kansas City to Austin the day after AA announced the baggage charge. It wasn’t a big deal to us. We’d done the math and calculated the cost of driving down there (plus 2 nights’ hotel stay en route each way) and we’d only have saved $250… and 17 hours in the mini-van with two children who can’t stand sitting still.

As far as I’m concerned, we got a bargain.
