Southwest Airlines announced this week that they will begin charging passengers $10 each way to board flights before general check-in starts. Earlier this year, Southwest started allowing some pets on flights for a fee, and announced a charge for unaccompanied minors. And nearly every airline now charges for checked bags. It's becoming clear that this is only the beginning...
