I've been flying my family overseas from the time my children were infants, and you're right that the fees are insignificant when you're paying the current rates to fly 4 people during high travel season. But I'll just add another casual observation that people travel with way too much shit. For a family of 4 we've never needed more than 2 suitcases, and maybe only one is packed to the max. If I had 200 pounds of luggage (+ carryons) for 4 people staying 2 weeks in Europe I'd probably be reconsidering a few things.

> But I'll just add another casual observation that people travel with way too much shit. One thing I started doing after trips is doing a "post-mortem" of sorts, basically: 1) How much did I use this item I packed? 2) Would it have changed my trip significantly without this item? If the answer is "rarely" and "not really", I don't pack it next time.
