Houston - we have a problem!
• We all know the pain and hassle with flying when it comes to luggage.
• Carrying heavy bags from home to the airport,– getting through security– checking in with concerns about weight and excess baggage
charges.
• If you’re over the weight allowance– many airlines seem to have different rules– weight allowances are constantly reducing– carrying more than one bag– It gets very expensive, very quickly.
• Regular travellers feel this pain even more
