Alternative

• If you are going for a shorter trip, you have the option of avoiding baggage fees by taking only carry-on luggage.

You are usually allowed a bag that is no larger than 45 total linear inches and weighing no more than 40 pounds, as well as a personal item such as a purse or briefcase.
