I think 3 hours is an absolute maximum that should be enforced on all planes regardless of size or airport. And that is ONLY when restrooms and water are provided. If the delay is longer than the originally scheduled flight (it can happen for short flights), there should be a mechanism for obtaining food as well. With the state of meals & snacks on-board planes these days (they run out even for purchased items), I’ve been stuck in-flight with no food for many hours. If on the ground, it makes no sense to not at least have some snack.
Full price with breakout of optional items should always be with the price – online, at ticket agents, etc. Code-share arrangements should be the same as those of the airline issuing the ticket.
I think that 3 months is not long enough for many infrequent travelers. But if the optional (i.e. NOT provided w/o fee) items are clearly listed upon ticket reservation/purchase, that should suffice.
I think that separate charges for choosing your seat, having one carry on & one checked bag & access to water and restroom are nuts and should not happen. Snacks, blankets, OK, although these days we all look like campers getting on with pillows, extra jackets, meals (and only from inside security no less), and as much carry-on as will fit. Counterproductive!
