Did you know that knowing how to be an air courier can save you hundreds of dollars on most of your flights, especially international flights?

That you can fly anywhere in the world you like, at huge discounts on normal fares, sometimes FREE of Charge, simply by working as a courier for one of hundreds of companies needing people to accompany their packages abroad?

Go to New York, Australia, Hong Kong, or Hawaii.

Go anywhere you like, in fact. Courier companies worldwide are desperate for people like you to help them maintain their reputation for speedy, reliable delivery of products and packages to all corners of the world.

Whatever your age, whatever your status, no matter where you live, there’s every chance for you to travel abroad free of charge (or at uniquely low cost) several times a year, or even spend the majority of your time travelling to exciting locations, and even earn a living as you go! (More about this later!)

How come you haven’t heard of this fantastic opportunity before? Could it be because the opportunity is so good, so easily available, that until now the existence of free air courier travel has been a closely guarded secret known only to a handful of lucky travellers? Or perhaps you’ve thought it was just too good to be true ….. so ….. it must be a scam! Not so, it’s very much above board and now the secret is open to you.

With crude oil on a surge above $110 a barrel you had best pack light for flights or expect to pay more when checking that extra bag. Airlines are reeling under the added expense of record prices for jet fuel and must seek ways to recover some of the costs.

I always advise travelers to pack light when traveling as it just makes moving about so much easier. On one of my trips to Thailand I saw three American girls really struggling with an enormous amount of luggage. It was so over the top that it made the young women, probably college students on Summer break, look really foolish. All of their stuff could barely fit into their taxi.

If anyone packs that much today to take on an airline flight it will cost them. United Airlines has just started charging a flat $25 for a second checked bag. All airlines are now watching weight limits more closely. Someone checking in two or three over sized bags will likely be hit with additional charges that could be as much as their ticket.

To have an easier time of it when traveling pack light. Now only does it make traveling a lot easier but if you are traveling on a commercial airline you will save a bunch of money.

One of the best tips for air travelers is to pack light to save time and trouble on flights.

The maximum amount of baggage that I recommend carrying along on any trip is one carry one bag and one checked bag. This will make moving about from home to airport and in and out of hotels much easier.

With higher fuel costs many airlines are now strictly enforcing maximum weight restrictions. Being overweight should not be a problem if you are checking only one reasonably sized bag. If you are overweight you may be unpleasantly surprised at how much those extra pounds are going to cost you.

Be sure to pack in your checked bag any items or objects that will cause you trouble at the security checkpoints. These items now include liquids and gels of any sort. So if you have a large shaving cream, hair spray , bottles of after shave lotion or perfume, be sure to pack it away in your checked luggage. Otherwise you will probably have to toss it away at an airport security checkpoint.

There is another advantage in packing light other than saving on weight with the resulting ease of handling. You can save a little room in your luggage and then pick up a few additional pieces of clothing at your destination. In many parts of this troubled world it is smart to blend in and look like a native, or at least someone who resides in that country, rather than stick out as a rich looking foreigner decked out in designer clothing. Blending in with the locals can be a big plus in adding to your personal security.
