I recently wrote about a sweet deal, NYC- Amsterdam for $356 roundtrip.
While booking this deal with Norwegian Air, I had some concerns due to their strict baggage rules. The airline clearly states restrictions like the max size your bag can be and the allowed weight you can carry on for flights.
Due to this, I decided to pay to use the overhead bin during the flight. I figured that for an additional $12 each way, it was worth it to pay to bring a rollaboard. Continue reading How Was It Flying Norwegian Air With Their Strict Baggage Rules
I’d bet that most of you have faced the dilemma of being charged extra baggage fees when checking in luggage at the airport.
The big questions is what do you do?
A few times, we were told that a piece of luggage was overweight so we needed to open our bags and move things around. This is definitely annoying but at least we didn’t get stuck paying extra fees. Continue reading This Woman Hacked Not Paying Extra Baggage Fees By Doing This

On one of my first trips to Europe I had the unfortunate problem of my bag not showing up with my flight. While my friend and I did receive our bags later that evening, it was an inconvenience to walk up the Eiffel Tower feeling dirty and in not so comfortable footwear.

I find Kickstarter and other crowd-funding sites to be really interesting and a great way for innovators and creators to bring their ideas to market. However, I can’t say that I’ve backedĀ a campaign.
A new carry-onĀ just became the most funded luggage ever on Kickstarter,Ā blowing away its intended funding goal. Continue reading The Most Funded Luggage Ever on Kickstarter
I’ve heard of scenarios of air rage like an in-flight fight over a crying baby and we had pilots fight in the cockpit prior to take-off. Oh, and who could forget about the nutty ex-VP of Korean Air.
It’s no wonder that flight attendants want air rage fines raised.
In the latest case of air-rage, it actually was more like airport rage since this time it took place pre-flight while still in the airport.
Why you might ask? Continue reading Airline Employee Slapped By Passenger Due To Luggage
