Smart Packing saves airline fees

With the newly instituted “second-checked-bag charge” packing light is more important than ever. Smart Packing by Susan Foster helps keep luggage light.

Aviation headlines about the $25 charge for a second piece of checked luggage is only one reason to pick up Smart Packing. The book is filled with other travel tidbits such as a chapter on travel fabrics and how to test fabrics for travel, packing in layers and selecting clothing for travel based on dressing in layers.

Packing light eliminates the need for checking any bags for most travelers. That translates to not having a bag for the airlines to lose, being able to scoot between connecting flights much faster and having the freedom to get on different (perhaps earlier) flights than that on which your luggage is checked. Once passengers check in luggage on a series of connecting flights, they are committed to exactly that itinerary. Smart packing means more freedom while traveling.

Smart Packing is available from Amazon and major bookstores.
