Pro tip: My baggage fee shock on a weekend trip

I booked a super cheap flight but didn't know about the strict baggage rules. At the airport, the fees were crazy high, so now I always check the policy online first. What's your go-to move to avoid extra travel costs?

Yeah, I read somewhere that wearing your bulkiest items onboard cuts down on bag fees.

That sounds like a real pain though.

Cole103 has a point about wearing the bulky stuff... saw a travel blog that took it even further, suggesting you wear a jacket with big pockets and stuff socks or a light sweater in them. The whole system feels like a game you have to play just to avoid extra charges. Makes packing stressful because you're planning your airport outfit like it's a tactical mission. Kind of crazy when you just want to be comfortable on a long flight.
