Passagier vermeidet Gepäckkosten, indem er Lidl-Tragetasche für 2,59 £ aufgibt | Geldblog

Not a bad idea, but it’s another opportunity to point out the absurdity that in our relatively tiny country, domestic flights are cheaper than taking the train. We need to make long-distance domestic train travel competitive with flying and cars.

£2.59 is nowhere near enough to risk it not turning up.

I was doing something similar about 20 years ago, my job took me all around the world and it was almost always cheaper to send my luggage ahead on a courier service than pay the airlines fees. Plus you get out of the destination airport a lot quicker.

My question is how long was she going for? She was either taking too much stuff, or being stingy with the cost of the bag.

That said, great way to get stuff on for free is to use something like this – [https://www.military1st.co.uk/242-002-condor-hydro-harness-black.html](https://www.military1st.co.uk/242-002-condor-hydro-harness-black.html) (can’t find the exact one I’ve got, but it’s bigger – wider but very low profile.

With vacuum bags for clothing I can easily fit a working week’s worth of boxers, socks, and t-shirts in, along with bits and bobs like a toothbrush, and with a coat or hoodie over the top, you can’t even tell. Have to take it off at security, but they don’t give a shit about airline bag policies and I have comments that it’s a smart move.

Also often wear a small-ish chest rig which I wear when working, can carry more stuff in there. Again, can’t tell I’m wearing it under a coat/baggy hoodie.

Then you’ve got more than enough room to fit the rest of your clothes and stuff in your free carry-on bag with any low cost airline. Again with vacuum bags, surprising how much you can fit.

Ill never forget the loophole of getting a CD in ASDA, buying a birthday card and stamp, popping the CD in the envelope and then posting it in the ASDA post-box to your loved one. The joy on her face and yours as the Celine Dion CD hadnt cost you £6.79.
