thank goodness that is per person..... we will fly with 3 plus carry on for the both of us...

Yeah - the two of us can manage in 3 bags. I just hate the idea of being slapped with one more kind of surcharge.

Take our airfare to san juan for our cruise this december... for this flight i booked through Orbitz (i normally book directly with teh airline website but AA wasnt cheep this time)for a better fare.. got both of my FF preferred airlines we use... going on American and coming back on Delta... we tend buy our tickets early just after they become availible 331 days out or so..in hopes of getting them before they rise in price because of one factor or another..... it turns out ...AA will honor the 2 bags a piece policy because we bought before they changed their rules... Delta on the other hand won't ....anything over one apiece we have to pay surcharges ..luckily for the san juan cruise it will only effect us the one way..

I may have this wrong but I thought I heard of an airline charging $50 for the additional bag.... anyone hear that?

And, don't forget that the airlines will also charge for bags that weigh over 50 lbs.

Has anyone used the vacuum sealing bags for cruise packing? I'm thinking about getting them (Target has all sizes), but I was wondering how I can vacuum out the air when we are ready to leave.
