Airline passengers have learned that their baggage allowance is valuable. Today, most will travel with their maximum allowance! Check the cost of 50 pounds of Air Mail...Families with children really can work as freight haulers. Hence..Load limits. Overweight, use UPS or such. Plan ahead. Hotels I've been in usually have piles of air freight or regular mail awaiting customer arrivals. I've seen college youth wearing three and four layers of clothing aboard, and then stripping once in their seat. Check first class and business class baggage limits.

Whgn I moved to Cairo the shipping guy told me to pack my clothes in suitcases & pay the overweight charges as it was much faster, easier & cheaper than sending it via sea freight. I dragged 12 suitcases with me. It was very easy.
