In spite of the low prices (and we're all trying to save money) the low-cost European airlines can really zing you with luggage fees and some do everything they can to force you to check your bag, even if it fits in the metal thingy at the airport. (Someone told me employees get a bonus if they make people check their bags but I don't know if that's true.) Either way, checking a bag at the airport is going to be extremely expensive.

So I always pay for a checked bag, whether I'm planning on checking one or not. It's often as low as 10 euros if you do with when buying your ticket, but can go up to 100 euros or more if you do it at the airport.

It is diabolical what they charge if you do it at the airport! It’s also crazy how many flights of stairs they expect people to climb with their carryon bags in small airports. If my mom had been solo she’d be crushed by the weight of it all. Traveling is so glamorous! BTW…I’m pitching our show next week to my production company! 🤣

I recently flew out of JFK in New York and Air France said I could bring two carry ons...but when I went to go through security, they said I could only bring one. And they were super strict about it. Fortunately my second carry-on was a tote bag and I just crammed everything into one bag, but every airline...and airport, is different.

Good luck with the show pitch!!

Love airports too. So much to see and do while waiting for your next flight. Heathrow even has a personal shopping service https://www.heathrow.com/at-the-airport/shopping/personal-shopper

I LOVE the poodle hat. It was a gift from my husband and he got it at a local coffee shop. They no longer sell it but I am hunting for a source, stay tuned!
