10 Ways to Save Money This Summer #9

Ban Baggage Fees
Your airline ticket might be cheap but if you’re paying for each bag, flying a family can double your ticket prices. Don’t be surprised by new baggage fees. Know before you book your ticket who charges what for checked bags or even carry-ons. AirfareWatchDog.com has a chart for the top 10 airlines. Pack lightly and make this expense a part of your budget. If you’re sensible with credit cards (never carry a balance) and fly often, you can save with an airline-branded card, such as the Delta SkyMiles American Express, which always allows for first bag checked, free.
