Not as much as FedEx. Checking a 50-pound bag with United from SFO to AUS costs $25. Shipping a 50-pound package via FedEx costs twice as much, and that's assuming you can afford to be without the things in your bag for up to 4 business days. If you can't, overnight shipping is $288.
- personlurking 14y agoI often wish I could travel without a second suitcase. I recently paid a popular Brazilian airline R$230 (US$115) for a half-full second suitcase weighing 15kg. That price was also the price of the flight I was taking, btw.
- bmelton 14y agoIf you're willing to do laundry in your travels (lots of hotels offer drycleaning as a paid service also) then I see no reason you shouldn't be able to. I often travel for weeks at a time with no more than a Skyway 'carry-on' model bag and my laptop bag, both of which are carryable onto all US airlines at least. If I were somehow restricted to one bag, I could stow my laptop in my carryon if necessary, but I'd worry more about it getting banged up.
- personlurking 14y agooops, forgot to mention important detail. I move a lot, so everything (mostly clothes) fits into two suitcases.
