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. You can take
all the luggage and food you want while saving big bucks by not
staying in crappy, bedbug ridden hotel rooms. :-)

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!

Hopefully out of any WiFi or cell phone service. We could use a break.

Better yet, buy a big, fuel efficient, diesel trawler. Sleep in your
own clean comfortable bed every night at the scenic waterfront
location of your choice.

Quite simply, they treat you nicer. A first class seat is still bigger
than any coach seat, you don't have anyone with their elbow in your
lap. You get on and off the plane faster, lines at the counter are
pretty much non existent, baggage comes off the plane first. They
usually have an express line through TSS, free drinks etc.
BTW those baggage (and other) fees add up pretty fast.

It is a ****ty way to travel but less so up front and I am willing to
pay to be treated nicer. If you want to be cattle prodded back to your
cheap seats and be uncomfortable for 5 hours or so, go for it. I might
be OK in an exit row seat going from here to Atlanta but not to the
west coast.

Essex moved from the river to the coast? Damn, I didn't know that.
Thanks for the tip!
