Cost of Air Travel With Kids Now Sky High
It's the time of year when many families are planning holiday travel, and if yours includes a flight with kids, listen up. Consumer Reports says there are new rules and added fees that could quickly take the jolly out of your holiday air travel. The standard fee for an unaccompanied minor has in some cases more than doubled over the past decade, from $200 to $300 depending on the airline. And the fees don’t stop there: If you actually want to sit next to your kids, you might have to pay more for that, too.

Some of the survivors were over 100 years old.
Woman Warns Others After Buying Weight Loss Product

She paid about $99 for three bottles of the product and took several pills a day, for weeks. "I was just saying, if it helps give me a jump start, I'll be happy," she said. "But it did not." The company did not respond to her request for a refund until NBC 6 Responds reached out to them; Noguera says that next time, she will be more careful with unfamiliar products from social media ads.
