Wow...that would cost a small fortune in baggage fees, coming and
going, up here.
Wife is heading off to Toronto for 5 days in the middle of the month
and she's trying to pack everything into a carry on bag plus a large
over the shoulder bag. We'll see how that works out.
Buy a better plane ticket and you don't pay baggage fees.
Well, it'll take a much bigger luggage fee to come out ahead.
I bought our two tickets in coach and paid a bit extra per seat to get
the Emergency Exit row for each of us. These have sufficient legroom
to get comfortable. The tickets were $640 each *less* than first
class. My wife has a big rolling suitcase that if she packs carefully
stays under 50 pounds and if she is a little over, the shoes end up in
my smaller, lighter suitcase. So, what would we be missing in first
class? Some crappy microwaved airline meal, as opposed to the
sandwiches and snacks we'll buy in the airport to take on board.
Airline travel is a big enough rip-off as it is. Why hand them even
more $$$ to be inconvenienced with a ****ty means of travel.
You might want to look into buying or renting an RV.Â* You can take
all the luggage and food you want while saving big bucks by not
staying in crappy, bedbug ridden hotel rooms.Â* :-)
We would view traveling any significant distance and sleeping in an RV
along the way as many degrees worse than flying.  It's about 3000
miles to our destination this time. I'll drive to the local airport!
