Meanwhile in Europe low-cost carries like Ryanair charge fees for not checking in online or not printing your boarding pass at home.

I really don't think this is a Europe-vs-America issue.

1) I don't think anyone else than Ryanair does that. I do agree they suck though.

2) It is an American issue. Have you been on any airline from Europe, Middle East or Asia? If you generalise the offerings and compare the level of service then you will find that American airlines offers much lower service. Most European airlines are quite good, and most big carriers from Asia and Middle East are much better.

It's the same situation on both sides of the Atlantic. Both JetBlue and Norwegian are low-cost carriers and offer free Wifi while the big flag carriers charge for it, if it's even available.

Really? They're all bad, but we're going to go ahead and argue over who's less bad? Come on...

Norwegian makes you pay for water.

Seems fine by me, since I can bring my own water but not my own WiFi :)

The TSA would have a field day with all your cavities if you try to even so much as bring more than an ounce over three through airport security. Good old USA!

You bring an empty water bottle and fill it up at the airport. I've never seen an airport that charges for tap water.

Yeah, either fill it up or buy in the shops after security, which (in my experience) is still cheaper than in the plane.
