Just two short months ago in our March 25th Collegiate Luggage blog article we noted with minor alarm/resignation that Delta Airlines and American Airlines were now charging $25 to check a second piece of luggage on any and all domestic flights.

We then called your special attention to our Victorinox® WT-22 Deluxe Wheeled Travel Bag, which is the acknowledged largest available bag that may be carried aboard most domestic airlines. In the two months since then, other airlines have adopted the $25 fee for a second bag, making our WT-22 a smart investment since it would save you $50 per round trip when carrying it aboard instead of checking it.

Now, American Airlines has a new policy designed to make air travel just a bit more expensive: A $15 fee to check your first bag, followed by a $25 fee for each additional checked bag. And it appears that the other airlines will follow suit.

So, let us once again point you to our WT-22 Carry-On and remind you that this is not only some of the strongest, best-designed, lightest-weight luggage you could invest in, but it will pay back a "dividend" every time you wheel it aboard the plane.

Collegiate Luggage's Victorinox® Travel Gear by Swiss Army Brands lets you proudly sport your favorite school's logo on your luggage, and now helps you save serious buckaroos on your travel budget.

Two wonderful things for one reasonable price.
