Me he mea lā ʻaʻole lawa ka uku ʻana i $15 no ka nānā ʻana i kahi ʻeke, e noi ana ʻelua mau mokulele i $5 hou aʻe e hoʻomaka ana i kēia kauwela inā ʻoe e uku ma ka helu helu helu - he uku ma luna o kahi uku.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki iā ʻoe ke uku mau i kāu uku ukana mai ka home. Kāhea ʻia e nā mokulele ʻo ia ka "hōʻemi pūnaewele."
Inā hiki i nā mokulele ke pakele i kēlā, he aha ka mea e hiki mai ana? Ma mua o ka hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻana i nā kumukūʻai ma waena o ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana, ke hōʻiliʻili nei lākou i nā uku no ka loaʻa kālā - nā uku no nā ʻeke, nā uku no ka hele wikiwiki ʻana i ka laina, a me nā uku no kekahi mau noho.
ʻO United Airlines wale nō ka manaʻo e ʻoi aku ma mua o $ 1 biliona i kēia makahiki ma nā uku mai ka ukana a hiki i ka wikiwiki ʻana i nā makana lele pinepine. ʻOi aku ia ma mua o 5 pakeneka o kāna loaʻa kālā.
ʻO nā uku hou paha i hoʻāʻo ʻia e kekahi mokulele, ma kahi. Hoʻomaka maʻamau nā uku mai hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau mokulele, a nānā ka poʻe hoʻokūkū e ʻike inā e ʻae ka poʻe kaʻa iā lākou a kipi paha. O kahi laʻana:
_ Ke hoʻonui nei ʻo US Airways a me United i nā mea kaʻa no $5 no ka uku ʻana i kā lākou uku ukana ma ke kahua mokulele ma mua o ka pūnaewele. Ua hoʻokō ʻo United i ka uku ma Iune 10, ʻoiai ʻo US Airways e hoʻokomo iā ia i Iulai 9.
_ Inā makemake ʻoe e koho i kahi noho lālani puka ma AirTran a hauʻoli i ke keʻena wāwae keu, manaʻo ʻoe e ʻoki i $20.
_ ʻO Allegiant Air, kahi mokulele mokuʻāina liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, uku ʻia he $13.50 "uku ʻoluʻolu" no nā kūʻai pūnaewele, ʻoiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea lawe ʻē aʻe e paipai i nā kūʻai pololei mai kā lākou pūnaewele.
_ ʻO Ryanair ka mea kūʻai kūʻai ʻEulopa e uku i kekahi mea e hana ai nā mea a pau inā makemake lākou e lele: e nānā i loko. Hoʻolālā ʻo Ryanair e hoʻopau i nā papa hoʻopaʻa mokulele.
_ Ua uku ʻo Vueling mokulele mokulele Sepania i ka uku no ke koho ʻana i kahi noho. ʻO kēlā me kēia noho. ʻO kahi noho "kumu" ma hope o ka ʻēheu holo 3 euros. No 30 euros, hiki i ka poʻe huakaʻi ke koho i kahi aisle a i ʻole noho puka makani a hōʻoiaʻiʻo e noho kaawale ka noho waena.
"Pono lākou e hoʻomaha me kēlā mau mea," wahi a Jim Engineer, he luna hoʻomalu pili aupuni e kali ana i kahi lele mai New York's LaGuardia. "ʻO ka uku ʻana i ke aniani wai a me nā noho e unuhi wale i nā mea kūʻai hauʻoli ʻole."
E like me ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻike wale ka hapa nui o nā mea lele inā nānā lākou i ʻekolu ʻeke a hoʻouna paha i kahi keiki liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻāina. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kānaka, ʻo ka hapa nui o ka manawa, hele me ka uku ʻole.
Akā, ua hoʻomaka ia e hoʻololi i ka pūnāwai i hala. ʻO ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai wahie jet a me ke kūʻē ʻana o nā kaʻa i nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe i hoʻomaka i nā mokulele e nānā a puni ka hale no nā mea hiki iā lākou ke uku hou aku.
Ke ʻike nei nā poʻe hele he ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o nā mokulele e hoʻohui i nā uku ma mua o ka lawe ʻana iā lākou.
"E hoʻomau lākou i ka hoʻoulu ʻana iā lākou a hiki i ko lākou holo ʻana i ke kūʻē ʻana i ka mākeke," wahi a Ed Perkins, he mea hoʻoponopono i ka pūnaewele Smarter Travel.
ʻO ia ka mea i hana ʻia ma US Airways. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia no ʻehiku mau mahina e uku no ka soda a me ka wai akā hāʻawi i ka lā Malaki ma hope o ka lawe ʻole ʻana o nā mokulele ʻē aʻe i ka manaʻo. A ua hoʻihoʻi ʻo Delta i kahi hoʻolālā e uku i $ 50 e nānā i kahi ʻeke lua ma nā mokulele honua āpau. Akā, pili ka uku i nā mokulele i ʻEulopa.
He alakaʻi ʻo United i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ala e hoʻokaʻawale i nā mea kaʻa no nā mea. ʻO kekahi no nā pōmaikaʻi i loaʻa i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi me ka manuahi, e like me ka meaʻai. ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe he mau lawelawe hou loa, e like me ka lawelawe ʻana o ka ʻeke ʻeke puka a United ma o FedEx.
Wahi a nā mokulele he ʻāpana o ke kumu kūʻai "a la carte" e hiki ai iā lākou ke paʻa i ka laina ma nā uku. Ma mua o ka uku ʻana i nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe i kēlā me kēia, ʻōlelo lākou, hiki i nā mea hele ke koho a koho i nā mea keu a lākou e makemake ai e uku.
ʻAʻole puka mai nā manaʻo no ka uku. ʻO ka mahina i hala aku nei ma Miami ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea lawe nui US a me nā mokulele mokulele o waho i hele i kahi hālāwai kūkā i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ke kumu kūʻai a-la-carte a me nā uku. (Motto, ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi kiʻi paʻi kiʻi o kahi mokulele: "E ʻike i ka hale kūʻai lele.")
ʻO kekahi mau uku e hoʻolōʻihi i ka noʻonoʻo: Ua lana ka manaʻo o ka Luna Nui o ka mea lawe hoʻemi hoʻemi ʻEulopa ʻo Ryanair i ka manaʻo o ka uku ʻana no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka luatory a me nā ʻeke maʻi. Akā ʻaʻole naʻe ʻo ia i hele i mua me ka mea i ʻike ʻia he ʻimi hoʻolaha hoʻolaha, a ʻaʻohe mea lawe ʻē aʻe i ʻōlelo i kēlā uku.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe kānāwai e kūʻē i kēlā uku ma US, e like me ka 'Oihana Hoʻokele a me ka Federal Aviation Administration.
Wahi a Delta Air Lines Inc. a me AirTran Holdings Inc., ʻaʻohe o lāua manaʻo e kau i ka uku no ka lawe ʻana i nā ʻeke, he manaʻo e hoʻonāukiuki loa i ka poʻe kaʻa e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka uku ʻana i nā ʻeke i hoʻopaʻa ʻia.
E hoʻokomo i nā limahana mokulele i kahi kūlana ʻino o ka hoʻoholo ʻana inā he ʻeke nui kēlā ʻeke ma kou lima, ʻaʻole manuahi, a i ʻole he ʻeke puʻupuʻu. I kēia manawa, ua ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā uku no nā ʻeke i hoʻopaʻa ʻia.
A inā e noho manuahi nā ʻeke halihali, ke hāʻawi nei ʻo United i kahi hōʻoia "Premier Line" no $25. Hāʻawi ia i nā mea lele e komo i loko o ka hoʻopaʻa inoa a me ka palekana me ka wikiwiki a me ka papa ma mua.
ʻO ia ka mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i kekahi o kēlā wahi ma luna o ke poʻo nui - no laila, ma ke ʻano, ua like ia me ka uku lawe, wahi a Jay Sorensen, ka pelekikena o IdeaWorks Co., he mea aʻoaʻo mokulele nāna i kākau i kahi alakaʻi no nā mokulele e ʻimi nei i ka "loaʻa kālā," ʻo ka ʻoihana. manawa no nā uku a me nā lawelawe ʻē aʻe e like me nā kāleka hōʻaiʻē mokulele.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Matthew J. Bennett, Luna Hoʻokele o FirstClassFlyer.com, ua manaʻo ʻo ia e hoʻomau ka poʻe huakaʻi i mua o ka mokulele i ka pale ʻana mai nā kumukūʻai nickle-a-dime e manaʻo nei i nā mea holo kaʻa.
No ka poʻe i kaʻaahi, ʻoiai, "ʻO ka mea a lākou e uku ai i ka wā e hiki mai ana, ʻo ia kekahi mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia."
"Ua loaʻa iā lākou ka loaʻa kālā mai iā lākou," wahi a Bennett. "ʻO nā mea a pau a lākou e ʻōlelo nei i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi kaʻa kaʻa ʻo 'ʻAʻole mākou i lawa pono iā ʻoe.'"
