In the end, you're right, they want that $25 out of you. And they'll get it. Who cares how? If this is what works, and keeps airlines in business, then that's what it is. As long as it doesn't cause a massive inconvenience (and, as I argue above, this doesn't) it doesn't bother me, especially if it means that it leaves an opportunity for me to benefit by being frugal.

I'm afraid of the chaos this is going to cause at the ticket counter. It can only make an already slow process that much slower as they will now have to run credit cards for everyone (or make change). Add in the typical non-English speaking passengers that won't know what in the heck is going on with this new charge and that's my issue more than the increase itself.
