That'll be $2. Buh-bye.

Journal reporter Stephanie Chen on changes coming to US Air's domestic flights today.

Charging for checked luggage and legroom isnt enough for some carriers -- starting today, coach passengers flying aboard US Airways Inc. must pay for a drink of water.

This morning, US Airways began charging fliers $2 for bottled water and sodas and $1 for teas and coffees. First class members, trans-Atlantic passengers and a select group of others are exempt from the extra fees.
