Now that we’ve gotten used to and sadly accepted the various airline checked baggage fees (though Southwest is a great exception!), it looks like we’re going to have to get used to some more fees now, international flight fees. Darn it.
If you are travelling to Europe on American Airlines this fall, then we are sorry to report that for each bag of luggage you take, you will have to pay a $50 fee each way. It might just be time to start looking into the USPS, huh?
And that’s not where it’s going to end, so don’t start looking at silver linings just yet. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the ten largest US airlines collected around $566.3 million in baggage fees during 2009’s first quarter. So the airlines are finally seeing what that can make on baggage and international fees are just beginning.
This is a year for travel deals, I tell you and this week is no exception.

The airline is not letting us know how many of their $599 all-you-can-fly passes sold out, but according to spokesman Bryan Baldwin, they saw an ”overwhelming demand.”
Here’s to all you lucky pass holders, looks like you won the golden ticket!
We know you don’t have enough time on your hands with all the travel planning and packing to learn every language, and that’s why there’s the Franklin Electronics 12-Language Speaking Global Translator Travel Gadget.
For $230 you can have on hand 12 different languages to help you along your way. With 12,000 pre-programmed phrases on an almost bright display, you can let Franklin do the talking from “Where is the bathroom” to “How much is the bill”.

JetBlue has just announced some very exciting news. For a limited time the airline will be offering an All-You-Can-Jet Pass.
For $599, which actually includes most taxes and fees surprisingly enough, you can fly all you want between September 8 and October 8! Just hop onto any of JetBlue’s routes which includes 57 cities and more than 600 daily flights.
Be sure you book this awesome deal by August 21, 2009, but we think the sooner the better as the company is offering only a few of these passes.
