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(机票)instead of fees. Limit the carry-on size and charge for large carry-ons. Use templates(标尺)at the security checkpoints to cut off the monster bags that now often escape airline staffs 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 is the main cause of increasing number of carry-ons?
选项
A、The fee for the first piece of checked baggage.
B、The tax placed on the fees on the carry-ons.
C、The bitter fight for the overhead bin space.
D、The complicated boarding process.
答案
A
解析
细节题。题目问,乘客携带越来越多的行李登机的主要原因是什么?根据题目定位到文章第三段,大多美国机场对于乘客的每件行李都收费,因此乘客为了省钱和省行李领取的时间,尽量多携带行李登机,A为正确答案。选项B“对每件携带登机的行李收税”文中没有提。而C选项“争夺头顶行李箱的空间”是乘客们携带多件登机的结果,而不是原因。D选项“复杂的登机过程”与原文“extending the boarding process”(延误了登机过程)也有出入。
