I guess a handbag doesn't weigh too much - you can pick one up on the way to the airport. A small gold bar is also good for a rainy day.... My friends in the UK like jewelry and art.

Clothes are easy - I have some of these bags and a pump. Space Bags are good.

Not bad for 19 dollars.

This way what used to be hold luggage is hand luggage.
And no chance of the airline loosing your luggage - and fewer delays in customs - and no waiting in the baggage hall. If your suits are linen a small steam brush or travel iron may be required. Marino seems ok after hanging out. wrinkle free stetch fabrics are also good - convertible pants save taking shorts or changing. These are good...

Hope this helps.....

Now more airlines flying from USA to DR are charging customers baggage fees??? What the F. After paying the most taxes in the carribean now we have to pay for the check in bags? I flew Delta last year and the had no bag fees to DR. Now Delta wants to charge $30 for the second bag. I think that American airlines does not charge, but they don't have the best flight costs.
Here are the ones that I know of:
Spirit - 1st bag $20, second $25 each way
Delta - 1st bag free, second bag $25 each way
Jetblue - 1st bag free, second bag $20 each way
Last I heard AA had no bag fees to DR
Does anyone have info on the rest?

This is getting out of control! Are they going to charge us per toilet tissue square used?
Do it the smart way, like I do...........leave your "vacation" clothes in your house (or relative's) in the DR then travel with two carry-on bags.

Has worked for me for over 20 years!.




That would be nice but I always like to take 2 bags so I can take stuff for the family.
Is your maid's husband wearing your clothes while you are gone???
At times it's less complicated/stressful to send the stuff you will give your family BEFORE you get there........(refer to the PM I sent you a few minutes ago).

One thing I MUST say:

I don't remember the last time I waited to pick-up my luggage after getting there........most of the times I am the first one out.

When the "inspectors" see my two bags, they don't even bother to look at them......they wave us out......

They probably tell themselves: "two little bags, why bother.....those with all those maletas, those I the fishes that we want"...JAJAJAJA.

And noooooo, nobody is wearing my clothes......I keep them locked in locked rooms.

There is always a maletero that will move you fast and cut in front of people. They put your stuff in fron and say, this one is next

RE: Now we have more airline baggage fees?
The trend nowadays for airlines to survive is to sell everything, including preferential seating even in coach, so get used to it, it is getting worse, either that or take the burro.
There is one very close you can mount for pennies on the dollar. Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja Ja.
Hey Blutarsky, I got you covered: You were my buddy John Belushi (who I met in Manhattan once) in the movie animal house. Here is a photo:

But you still have to wait for you bags.

Although there are some maleteros that are PESTS, que se la quieren dar de hombrecitos, ordering people around.....cutting on line....that is until they try to "cut" ahead of me.......I unleash the LEONAAZO on those idiots and all they can do is back down and say to themselves "Contra, ese BOOO!!!GEYMAN is tough"......les da' un pique tan grande que hasta empiezan a creer en "moles". JAJAJAJAJAJA.

I was late arriving to the cibao airport and I had less than an hour for take off. I told the maletero that I was going to miss my flight and this dude disconnected the line barrier and put my luggage on the scanner and even told the airline agent that I was next This dude had some balls, lol I tipped him and made it

I bet he was one of those maleteros babosos, who cuts lines then tries to order people around when they say something to him?........I've come across those "things".

I am telling you, he was lucky I wasn't next on line........los pongo como tengo a los 'haters", viendo "TuPapaupa" hasta en la sopa. JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA.

Why do you AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALWAYS post links people CAN'T click on?.


I do not know why links in DT do not operate normally - cut and paste worked with my two links - takes 2 seconds. + open new window. mark link in black with mouse control c move to web space of new window control v return.
If someone would like to explain how to set up clickable links in DT please do.
Maybe the answer for our friend may be is to take one large suitcase with a soft bag/case inside. Check the weight.
Seems he is in the clothes import business.........

FYI...
American Airlines is now charging $50 USD for the second bag
Also, Delta increased the second bag charge to $50
Spirit ariline restricts you to one bag per customer from December 1st to January 10th
WTF I am sick of all of the fees and restrictions
