]]> While flights may be pricey as it is, it seems that airlines have no issue laying on extra charges where possible. One common fee that you may encounter on your travels is the cost of checked baggage. Fortunately, this fee is not entirely unavoidable. Here are some quirky hacks to help you avoid paying checked baggage fees.

Choose Your Airline Wisely

Although many major airlines insist on charging baggage fees, this is not a hard and fast rule for everyone. Southwest Airlines is one example of an airline that provides not just one but two free checked bags, thereby giving you value for money. Simply check out a range of airlines and their baggage policies the next time you fly.

Get An Airline Credit Card

Not only do airline credit cards often provide deals such as free luggage, but they also often enable holders to travel with a higher baggage limit. Given that these credit cards come with a fee, think about how many times you’ll fly and the baggage costs you’re likely to pay before signing up.

Weigh Your Bag At Home

Another pesky penalty is when your baggage exceeds the airline’s weight limit. Make sure to weigh your bag before leaving home so that you avoid any unnecessary penalties.

]]> Knowing what you’re allowed to bring in your carry-on and checked baggage before arriving at the airport is extremely important for every traveler. Nevertheless, there are certain things that are actually allowed but you still shouldn’t pack in your suitcase, because it can easily get lost. Here’s a list of things you should never pack in your checked bag.

Important Documents

Obviously, you’ll need to carry your passport and boarding pass with you, but it’s also advisable to keep all other important documents with you at all times.

Medication

We are in fact allowed to pack medication in a checked bag, but still, it’s better to carry important meds with you in case you need them during the flight.

Electronics

The most important thing to remember is to never pack electronic items in a checked bag. Things like cameras, laptops, or tablets are very valuable and they can easily get damaged in a suitcase.

Jewelry

Traveling with valuable jewelry, in general, is very risky and not a good idea. However, if you really need to carry an important ring or necklace, then make sure to keep it with you at all times.
