New Airline Barf Bags Really Show Their True Feelings on Airline Taxes

Are airline and airport taxes and fees making you sick? If so, the Air Transport Association is right there with you, as they’re plastering their message on the side of airplane barf bags.

Airline fares and fees are already high enough, and now the industry is speaking out in opposition of plans to hike security taxes and other charges. The new air sickness bags are pretty direct with their message, as they pretty much tell you where to place your stomach-turning displeasure.

When it comes to flights we like affordable, so we understand the group’s displeasure with some of the proposed changes. The Obama administration is thinking about upping certain taxes by about a couple bucks each way along with a couple other possibilities here and there. The airlines are fine with adding their own fees, but when someone else forces them to do so it's a whole different story.

Unfortunately you probably won’t be seeing these on your upcoming flight, as they'll will primarily be passed out to lawmakers and other government paper pushers. Clearly it’s a clever way to prove a point, and we’ll just sit back and watch until all the airfare tax stuff shakes out.
