To ship or not to ship....

That was the question at hand this past weekend.  My hubby was wondering whether it would be wise to ship luggage to Alaska and avoid any additional baggage charges.

I checked on delta.com and I thought they allowed for at least one free checked bag but from what I see now, Delta charges $25 for the first piece of luggage and $35 for the second piece.  The luggage must be 50lbs or less.

You are allowed to carry on one item and one personal item.

You can ship items I guess but I read that some hotels are now charging an 'acceptance' fee when the package first gets there as well as a 'holding' fee for each day that they hold your items.  So make sure you check all of your options.

I think you can also ship to the local post office and have them hold it there.  I have never done this so it would take some more research.

Nothing like the airlines taking advantage of you every which way they can!
