As airlines around the world search for higher revenues and increased profitability, the effect on the passenger experience has not been overly positive, to say the least.

This includes the nation's three major legacy carriers along with boutique airlines such as JetBlue and Virgin America, as well as ultra-low-cost operators such as Spirit and Frontier.
