Even if you're a frequent flier, it's hard to keep up with the latest rules and regulations from the airlines. Here's advice on how to deal with the new baggage rules from Travelocity's Genevieve Brown.


How to deal with the new airline baggage regulations

Make sure you know the airline baggage restrictions before you get to the airport—otherwise you might be in for a shock.

Airline baggage regulation fees
* All six major airlines now charge $25 for checking a second piece of luggage: American, United, U.S. Airways, Delta, Continental and Northwest.

* American, United, and U.S. Airways charge $15 for the first piece of luggage. Elite members of these airlines frequent flier programs usually dont have to pay the fees.

* If you bought your ticket before the baggage fees were announced, then you wont have to retroactively pay them.

Airline luggage restrictions
* Each ticketed passenger is restricted to one carry on piece of luggage and one personal item like a purse or briefcase. But a small child that doesnt have a ticket (i.e. sitting on a parents lap) cant bring on any luggage.

* Airlines are cracking down on size and weight restrictions. The general rule is 50 total inches (total circumference of the bag) and 50 pounds. Anything over that can incur extra fees. Items in excess of these luggage restrictions can cost up to $100 per bag.

* International travelers can generally check two bags for free, except in Canada, Mexico, and Latin America. Check your specific airline for their rules.

They are all screwing us over. The less baggage they have to carry , the more mail etc. they can carry which they get paid for .They are getting paid from both ends . Just another flogging given to us all by major corporations .Its cheaper to mail it , not as quick but cheaper !That is within the USA .

MY GOD! Look at this pathetic, dehumanized robot giving you the corporate pitch as to why you will be getting fucked harder by the robber-barrons!

IT IS FUCKING DISGUSTING ALREADY!

Can't anyone tell that her words are HIGHLY SCRIPTED? Can't anyone tell she has been heavily coached on her body language, and she is speaking to the viewer like "mommy" would speak to a 4-year old?

Can't anybody see that politicians and corporate spokespeople are ALL USING THE SAME "NLP"/SPEED-HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES?
