Reuters.com :: Revenue-hungry airline to charge for aisle seats

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Struggling U.S. airlines, looking for new ways to generate revenue, are getting bolder about charging for pretty much anything that makes air travel a little more comfortable -- including aisle seats.

First came charging passengers for in-flight meals. Then, reservations done by phone cost extra. And now, one major airline, Northwest Airlines Corp., is trying to charge passengers for the right to sit in aisle seats and emergency-exit rows.
