NO CHARGE FOR CARRY ON BAGS

Sen. Charles Schumer announced Sunday that several major airlines have promised not to charge passengers for carry-on baggage. Two weeks ago, local carrier Spirit Airlines became the first in the United States to propose charging passengers $45 to store luggage in overhead bins.

“In the last week we have gained tremendous momentum in our effort to keep carry-on bags free,” said Schumer. “We have begun to put the brakes on runaway and out-of-control airline fees. I am pleased some of the major carriers have responded to our efforts and have agreed not to charge for something that has always been free.”

Spirit argued that the fee, which applies to flights booked for August 1 or later, is part of a strategy to make boarding an aircraft faster and easier. The low-cost airline, which has advertised 1-cent ticket prices on some short-haul routes, said it plans to offset the increase by reducing fees for checked luggage and some fares.

The goal is to ensure that passengers are not penalized for bringing items such as medication, food and laptop computers on board, the senators said.

HOLYFIELD WANTS ONE MORE SHOT

47 year old boxing legend Evander Holyfield is still hoping to become the world heavyweight champion.

“I’ve been telling people since 1992 when I lost to Riddick Bowe that I was going to be undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. I won two but not the third,” he said.

“Botha gave me an opportunity. People talk about my legacy. It’s about who you’ve fought. They can’t deny me… I fight the best. I always want to fight somebody to get a little credit if I beat them.”

“You can’t let people tell you what you can do. I fight because I want to. I wouldn’t be the person I am without opportunities.”

Do you feel that he has a chance?

The authenticity of the video has not been verified and the US military has not made any comment to this video yet. The Taliban has previously released two other videos of Bergdahl, the last one in December.
