Survive the high cost of flying with extra baggage.

Well it would seem as if air travel is the way to go considering the cost of filling up your gas tank. You need to take into consideration how the airlines are padding your ticket. Some airlines are charging $15.00 for the first bag, others are charging a $50.00 additional bag fee and others are charging $50.00 just for a bag that has exceeded their maximum weight standards.

Here’s how I travel these days. Backpack and laptop bag for my carry on items and one medium lightweight shell suitcase for baggage check-in. All my important expensive stuff stays with me on the plane. The suitcase houses basic toiletries, under garments and few days worth of clothing.

I like to shop while I’m vacationing. So I’ll pack my new stuff for the trip home in my suitcase. The additional stuff that will not fit or will will cause the bag to weigh too much is boxed up and shipped via ground service to my home.

If you’re traveling to a destination and would like to save some bucks, call your hotel to see if they’re willing to accept your packages via UPS or FedEx. Concierge service might even help prepare your shipments for the trip home.

Travel light and travel inexpensively!
