In recent years, airlines have started charging for everything from peanuts to even your first checked baggage. Some of them have absolutely no food or snacks available even for purchase – Air Trans – but you can buy all the alclohol you want!! No longer are the days of 2 checked bags for even just a 2 hour flight. The greatest incentive to pack light!!!
