On Aer Lingus's announcement that it is to charge people to choose where they can sit on its aircraft:"Obviously the notion of the customer is king is no longer the mantra, more like the customer is a sucker who I can con out of a few quid." Martina
"The baggage charge is a joke. It won't be long before you're able to buy clothes when abroad and post them home when you're leaving for less than the charge on the bags. But charging for a window seat? Gimme a break." - Ken McGuire
On tickets for REM's five-night residency in July selling on eBay for more that €500:"In some cases one seller has three separate sets of tickets. This is out and out illegal touting." - Ann Patton

On EMI's move to sell its music DRM-free online:"EMI have had a road to Damascus moment realising that DRM actually hurts them, so they are dropping it." - Brian Greene
