If you're planning to travel by air this summer, you'll be one of 

 talked to two travel experts about major news in the airline industry and what you can expect. 

6 things air travel passengers should know

1. Be mindful of your fellow passengers and aware of air rage


The No. 1 complaint on our show today: Lack of legroom and reclining seats on planes. Our guests said air rage is a problem and not something to take lightly. Find airlines that 


"The seeds of air rage may be planted way before your trip, and you may be bringing a nearly fully developed case onto the aircraft," 

 "Sometimes it's an eruption of the simmering stress of rushing to pack, arriving at the airport late, getting hung up in security and running out of time for your pre-flight rituals."

2. Increasing demand could lead to more capacity, but don't hold your breath


Being in a plane that's more than 90 percent full is like being in a "flying tomb" said Catharine Hamm. But don't expect that to change quickly. This business model works for the airlines, but not for consumers.

3. Delta is trying to speed up boarding process by loading your carry-ons

4. If you're flying discount air carriers, study their policies


While you might find a good ticket deal on carriers like Spirit or Ryanair, 

make sure you thoroughly read their policies

 so you don't get charged more later. Most of these air carriers are a la carte, so be prepared to shell out extra cash if you want something to drink, a checked bag at the terminal or a reprinted ticket. Those fees can easily bring your ticket price above other carriers. 

As Southwest Airlines adds capacity, the airline industry is watching for a potential fare war after peak travel season ends. The competition is already fierce in Dallas, 

, where some airlines are price matching.

6. Smaller carry-on size requirements could go mainstream


The International Air Transport Association is asking for airlines to require passengers to bring smaller carry-on bags.
