Three Airlines Become True Grinches By Raising Holiday Surcharges

That's right lady, go ahead and type in our checked baggage fees and holiday surcharges; we now know to avoid your airline in future travels. You see, three airlines have become the grinches of the holiday travel season. Not only are they throwing down the baggage fees, but they're already upping recently-announced peak travel surcharges, some of which continue through to 2010.

The offending airlines are: United, Delta and US Airways. Might as well just throw all your spare change and travel coffee money at them now, with all the little additional nicks they're taking at your wallet...

According to USA Today, those annoying little $10 and $20 surcharges that you might be paying for your Thanksgiving flights will be upped to $50 for Christmas flights and even Super Bowl travel. This is actually the only reason we won't be heading home for Christmas, since tickets with the new surcharge are too rich for our blood.

Thanks, legacy airlines. We get to blame our sitting alone in a cold apartment with some instant hot chocolate over Christmas on you, and we're not the only ones.
