Video: Airline Fees: Secrets to Help You Save Big | ABC News

I was given a strange mission: part "Brewster's Millions" and part "Amazing Race": fly from Miami to New York City -- and spend as much as possible on airline fees.

Step one: Buy a ticket for $360. If you do it over the phone and want to talk to a human, it'll cost you an extra $25.

Bedbug complaints prompt British Airways to fumigate 747 - USATODAY

 
The bedbug panic appears to be spreading to the skies.

The Daily Mail of London reports "British Airways grounded two jumbo jets after a passenger complained of being badly bitten by bed bugs during two separate long-haul flights."

BA confirmed bedbugs had been found on one of those jets --both Boeing 747-400s -- and that it has put the plane back into service after being fumigated.

The story came to light after a 28-year-old Yahoo! executive claimed she was bitten by the bugs on two separate BA flights -- one from London Heathrow to Los Angeles in January and on another from Bangalore to London Heathrow in February. BA says it fumigated the 747 that flew the London-L.A. flight.
