Low-cost airline Ryan Air announced recently that from now on it would take a hard line with passengers who fail to adhere to its strict baggage allowance limits. Items checked into the hold must be paid for in advance to qualify for a reduced rate, and must not weigh over a certain amount. Passengers are allowed one item of hand luggage each, but again, there are restrictions and the bag must not be over a certain size if it does not fit into the company's advertised dimensions then you must either leave it behind or alternatively pay a hefty fee in order to bring it with you on the plane.
There are two ways of getting around the problem of getting to the airport and then finding before you board the plane that you have to spend a good chunk of your holiday money paying for extra bags to be allowed to travel on the airplane with you. The first way is to make sure that you read every bit of the small print on your airplane ticket and find out exactly what it is that you are paying for. This way you will have no surprises once you get to the airport however, it does mean that you will have to conform to rigid regulations and might not be able to take all the items on holiday with you that you would like to.
There is another option though which will allow you to take what you want with you on holiday without the hassle of having to fit everything into a small bag. By thinking ahead and organising for a courier company to pick up items from your home or place of work and then deliver them safely to another country, you will find that you're able to take everything on holiday that you want, and will not have to worry about the issues of paying fines once you get to the airport.
Deciding to send goods with an online parcel delivery company is quick and easy and will mean an awful lot less stress for the whole family when you are about to go on holiday. Why put yourself through the hassle of having to sort out excess baggage problems when all you really should be thinking about is what the first is that you're going to order at the bar in your hotel!
