Avoid Excess Baggage Fees Before Your Holiday

As Britains latest underwhelming summer stutters to a close

, there are no doubt thousands of people across the country who have turned their attentions to finding a last-minute break in an effort to lap up whats left of the late-season sunshine overseas. But even though you may be able to track down what seems like a bargain with the peak season having passed, its worth bearing in mind that the cost of a holiday can soon mount up. For example, many passengers are finding themselves falling foul of excess baggage charges, some of which have been hiked by airlines in recent years as fares have fallen.

There are several ways in which you can cut the cost of a holiday, including stocking up on food and drink before boarding the plane. However, it becomes increasingly difficult to save money if you end up being hit with excess baggage fees when you arrive at the check-in desk. These penalties can be particularly costly for large families dragging baggage around with them, leaving them with less money to spend on their break and getting their holiday off to an inauspicious start. Those with young children often have enough to worry about without weighing their baggage beforehand, which is one of the reasons why so many end up going over the limit and being charged extra.

However, there are companies out there who can help by shipping excess baggage for a reasonable fee thereby neatly sidestepping the potential problem of airline charges. In fact, if youre planning on travelling in a group youre quite likely to find youll all have a fair amount of luggage to take with you. Its never much fun heaving a big pile of bags around, so hiring a luggage shipment specialist can lighten the load in more ways than one. When it comes to collecting your baggage ahead of your big journey, these companies will arrange a time convenient for you so theres no need for you to worry about making an extra trip to drop them off.

Shipping any excess baggage to your intended destination costs only a fraction of the airline fees that would otherwise be racked up, and with many families feeling the squeeze in terms of their finances at the moment this could be the best option all round. This could leave you with more money to spend while youre away and if you end up over-indulging in a spot of retail therapy, you can also arrange to have your valuables shipped back home.
