For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Fear of Flying!

United Airlines said Friday it will start requiring minimum stays for nearly all domestic flights beginning in October. It is also raising its cheapest fares by as much as $90 one-way....United and US Airways last week joined American Airlines in charging passengers $15 to check their first piece of luggage.

Minimum stays. Baggage fees. Fuel surcharges. Is all this nickel-and-diming impacting your vacation/business travel plans? Or, with the price of gas, does it still make more sense to fly than drive?
