Travel info to lighten your load…

Visit www.thetravelinsider.com to lighten your load. In addition to posting airline reviews, the site outlines baggage policies for domestic airlines. It tells you how many bags you can check free and how much you’ll pay for extra luggage since that’s a big thing now. It also lists the maximum weight and size permitted.
I checked into this and if you fly United, for instance, in addition to paying $25 for an additional bag, you could get stuck with an extra $100 charge for a bag that’s overweight (51-99 pounds) or oversized (between 62-115 inches in length. If it’s too big AND too heavy, that’s another $200!
