The U. S. Travel Association confirmed in a survey what many frustrated fliers already know: The No. 1 airport headache is passengers who pull too many carry-on bags through security and onto flights.
That number has skyrocketed in recent years—86 million more bags were carried on in the year than during the same period two years earlier, the Transportation Security Administration estimates.
The reason for the carry-on jump is no mystery: All the major domestic airlines now charge to check(托运) even one bag, generally $25. To save money and time at the baggage claim, passengers carry as much as they can on board, with predictable consequences. At security checkpoints, these millions of extra bags, many of them densely packed, mean longer lines. Once past security,
the fun continues at boarding
. On a typical flight, there’ s a fierce fight for scarce overhead bin space, extending the boarding process. Bags that are stuffed under seats make passengers even more uncomfortable.
There has got to be a better way. In fact, there is. Here’ s what a more sensible system would look like:
No fee for the first piece of checked luggage. It would be better if airlines simply raised fares instead of fees. Limit the carry-on size and charge for large carry-ons. Use templates(模板) at the security checkpoints to cut off the monster bags that now often escape airline staff s notice until they’ re right at the door of the plane. Tax the airlines’ income from fees the same way that fares are taxed. Currently, the fees are tax free, encouraging airlines to generate income through fees rather than fare increases.
We’ re sympathetic to the airline industry’ s need to make money, but the baggage fees—previously intended to offset rising fuel costs—have become an interruption that slows down the security check, offloads costs onto fliers and makes the boarding process even more unpleasant than it already is.
What makes the air travelers most frustrated at the airport?
选项
A、The limited overhead bin space for bags.
B、The number of bags they carry on board.
C、The long line at the baggage claim.
D、The extra fee they have to pay for carry-ons.
答案
B
解析
根据第一段“…The No.1 airport headache is passengers who pull too many carry-on bags through security and onto flights.”可知,在机场最让人头疼的问题就是乘客要携带太多的行李过安检并带上飞机。故选B。
