Quick Airport Question
#10935718 - 08/25/09 04:52 PM (14 years, 5 months ago) |
|

I'm flying out west tonight for an upcoming gathering and I'm not sure the best way to pack my pillows/sleeping bag. I was just going to throw them in a large trashbag or something but my friend who's flying with me says they have to tag it and all and a trashbag wouldn't really work. Why not? What's the best/cheapest way to pack this stuff? I suppose I could just load up another suitcase but it seems like such a waste for that kind of item.

Any dufflebag will work, if not- do the suitcase thing...
Airport security is pretty tight, I flew in-state a month ago and they made me throw away my AXE body spray because it was over 3.4 oz.
This was at LAX airport, lulz.

Yeah I'll probably just opt for the trashbag. If anything it'll make things easier for the security staff there. A big bag of soft will be easy to pat down/scan.

I don't think there's any rule that says one must have expensive fancy luggage, but I've been wrong before

Yeah plus I'm not to worried about losing it.. I mean it's pillows and a sleeping bag. I need new ones soon anyway. Besides I'm sure if I lost it one of you noble shroomerites would let me cuddle up for some warmth. I hear you have quite the aura around you, Shroomism. lol

But it will be hard to stack, it can tear easily and its unconventional, and yes it will be hard to tag and they may not allow it at all. Just go to walmart and pick up a large duffel bag.. Army navy has nice canvas ones for cheep.
Or carry your sleeping bag on with you and buy a pillow when you get to where your going..
Don't do the trash bag thing.

How much do fees typically run based on luggage? I read on my itinerary that "one or more airlines on this trip charge an extra checked baggage fee". I wonder how much extra another suitcase would run me.

The trash bag will most likely get torn and shredded and your shit will get strewn about/dirty. I dont think a trash bag is a good idea.
The fee is generally $15 per piece of luggage (one way).

He's being modest.. I've heard stories of his aura blinding people who look directly at his chest tattoo.
About the cost, it will cost the same to check a trash bag as it would a duffel bag..
Where is this gathering? Don't tell me that people are already coming out for Lovevolution?
