Remember the “good ole days” when you would travel and did
not have to pay for your luggage? It seems to me that nowadays charging for
luggage has become a trend in the travel industry. This new trend has affected
travel and what airlines people choose to fly. Baggage fees can range from
twenty dollars to fifty dollars per bag and as much as seventy-five dollars if
your bag weighs over fifty pounds. The fifty pound luggage standard has
definitely affected some women when it comes to packing their luggage,
especially considering what we pack when they travel. Ladies, you know we
always over pack when we travel. If it is a weeklong vacation, we take shoes
for two months and close for six months! We like to have options when it comes
to outfits and that is why we over pack!
Well now it is not that easy to over pack because of these
limitations! There are several ways that you can pack without out being
overcharged and still taking all the clothes that you want for your special
trip! First of all when you pack you should plan your outfits in advance.
Figure out what you are going to wear every single day of the week and make
sure it is something that you like to wear and it’s comfortable. Then, you
should pick one pair of shoes to wear with each outfit and sometimes you can
wear a pair of shoes with more than one outfit. If you want to take more shoes
than you need, put all your shoes in a small carry-on luggage, because usually there
is no charge for the carry-on luggage and it gives you more space in your
bigger suitcase. Another great tip you should follow is to take a big purse or
an extra bag with you, just in case your luggage is over fifty pounds. That way
you can take out a pair of shoes or pants and stick them in your big purse or
extra bag that you took and you won’t be assessed the charge for your luggage.
When you take a big purse you can also stuff some snacks, like: cookies, chips
and candy. Taking snacks is a good tip because some airlines don’t feed you or
the food won’t be enough and if you want to buy more food, which is quite
expensive! This will help you save money if you have kids because you can
entertain them and they won’t go hungry!
Next time you travel by plane, consider these things to help
you save money and get the most out of your flight to your special destination!
