Re: AMERICAN AIRLINES AND FEES THEY CHARGE
784caroline,
I know what you mean when you write about the cost of a free ticket.
Would it pay for you to go to some yard sales and look for lighter luggage? There are luggage services available including Fed Ex and UPS. There are other services that I have heard about. If I still have the info I will post it.
When we were returning to Buenos Aires we were over the legal weight limit. What we did was put all the extra items in one suitcase. This way we only had to pay for one over weight suitcase. In this case it cost us $25.
If you have items that are not fragile I have seen people travel with a multi colored plastic bag with zipper. That way the bag may only weigh a couple of pounds and you have 48 pounds worth of items you can pack.
I am not going to say what my pocketbook weighed.
Hope this helps.
