    Sounds familiar, nothing is free and when it is there is a bolt on somewhere in cases. Pardon that pun! :o

    I am assuming the government, ie us as taxpayers paid for the flight, you would think that the airline could have waived the charges for suitcases under the circumstances.

    What would have happened if they didnt have any, or access to any money, would the airline have forced them to leave their clothes behind?

    I guess their side of things is they are not a charity however would have been a good PR move to waive the fee.

    Altruism would have been nice to see though.
