Let me pay a bit more for a normal flight!!

absolutely. I hope that we start to see a resurfacing of the popularity of full-service airlines. When I have a choice I will always pay the extra little bit of money to get what all airlines used to be like. The low cost carriers started out as a good idea but it has devolved into a situation where everyone on the plane is pissed off because what they thought was a cheap alternative to fly turns out to be a situation where the airline is going to nickel and dime you around every corner. I'm surprised they haven't started to charge you to use the bathroom.

There was a time when $1000 to go trans-pacific was the norm but these days you can nearly get a round trip flight for that much money. It obviously depends on where you are going and where you are coming from.
