Are all airlines using the bait and switch business model?

Delta NY to Denver. $262 round trip on the red eye. Want to take any bag, carry on, checked, doesn't matter… It is now $700+ round trip.
I go empty handed. I buy what I need, then throw it out when I leave. It isn't worth $100. I bring nothing. A sandwich bag with my prescriptions in my pocket. A comb and toothbrush in another. If it doesn't fit in my pockets, it doesn't travel. Not environmentally good, but this is what air travel has come to. If you told me this 5 years ago, I would have laughed at you.

Delta does not charge for carry-on luggage. This is either ignorance or a troll.

My dad travelled in a similar manner for years. If even wore old clothes to destination and discarded them when dirty and returned with the new stuff he needed to buy somewhere.
Suggest you try another Airline there are cheaper fares if that is your objective.
