“As domestic and international airlines continue to feel the ‘squeeze’ of sky-rocketing fuel prices, they continue to pass increased costs on to consumers. Most of us can make it through a 2-hour flight without paying two bucks for a bottle of water. Few of us, however, have the luxury of traveling with only luggage that is considered “carry-on”. If you must check any luggage, most domestic carriers now charge a fee.

So far, Alaska, Continental and Delta are allowing travelers to check their first bag free of charge (Southwest still allows two checked bags for free). American, U.S. Airways, Northwest and United are charging $15 for the first bag you check. The second bag checked will cost you $25 on most domestic carriers. And, the prices just go up from there for each additional bag you check. If you are a business traveler and must carry displays, heavy A/V equipment, be forewarned: the over-limit (weight and size) fees can be astronomical. Some carriers charge as much as $250 for shipping one over-sized piece.

So, what’s a traveler to do? Whenever possible, travel light; very light. For those for whom traveling light is not an option we began to wonder if there were cheaper ways to ship your luggage than via the airlines. What we found was very interesting; there is no shortage of firms and services that will happily ship your luggage – for a fee – sometimes a hefty fee. ”

By Marshall Loeb, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) –”If lugging those golf clubs or snowboards through the airport is just more than you can take on your next vacation, consider shipping your bags ahead. A number of delivery services — which contract with the major freight carriers like UPS, FedEx and DHL — will pick up your luggage at your home and deliver it to your destination, even overseas.

That will put at ease the minds of travelers tired of waiting for bags misplaced by the airlines. See previous Marshall Loeb’s Daily Money Tip.
Shipping ahead may be a special benefit for business travelers who can’t run out and buy two new suits when theirs don’t arrive in time for the big meeting or families that travel with four pairs of boots and skis.

Generally, the services allow you to book online or over the phone and someone will arrive at your home or office to pick up your bags. Most companies offer a choice of overnight or economy service; the latter can save you a bunch of money if you don’t mind waiting a few days for those skis to return from the mountains…”
