If you’re sick of airline fees, pack a carryon. And if you’re sick of hotel fees – what, you didn’t know hotels have them?

Well they do, according to the Los Angeles Times, which cites Bjorn Hanson, a “hospitality expert” from NYU who says  hotels are increasingly charging for what had been free services, and, coming up with diabolical new fees (okay, so “diabolical” is my word).

An example they give is a “restocking fee” in case you take a $2.50 soda out of the mini-bar; restocking it might be another $5.95.  They might even charge you to watch your bags for a few hours after you check out. Hmm.

One thing you can say about the airlines: they tell you what you’ll pay for that bag you want to check, up front. Prof. Hanson says you may not know about these hotel fees, until you get the final bill.

Sorry, no hotels are named in the article – but to be on the safe side, just be sure you’re really thirsty before you grab that Diet Coke.
