Traveling by Air? How to Check a Bag FREE

Lady With LuggageAccording to published reports, airlines raked in an estimated $2.5 billion in baggage charges during 2010!  Here are some ways to avoid your share in their 2011 profits:  Whenever ticket prices allow, fly on Southwest Airlines –who allows two FREE checked bags per ticket–or Jet Blue –who allows one FREE checked bag per ticket.  When comparing ticket prices, remember to factor in that most airlines charge $50 per check bag per person round trip!

Prefer to fly on Delta?  Sign up for their American Express SkyMiles credit card and receive one FREE checked bag per person flying with you (when all tickets are paid for with the card in one transaction), a savings of $50 per person round trip.  You can also earn a free flight right away after making your first purchase on the card and allowing additional card holders on your account.  Fees for the card are waived the first year only.  Visit DeltaSkyMilesCard.com for full details.

Is Continental your airline of choice?  The Continental One Pass Plus Mastercard offers one FREE checked bag per person flying with you (when all tickets are paid for with the card in one transaction).   Like Delta, you can earn a free flight right away after making your first purchase on the card and allowing additional card holders on your account.  Fees for the card are waived the first year only.  Visit MyChaseCreditCards.com for more information.
