One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in travel is that different people have different flexibilities.  Use this to your advantage. The ultimate example:  I flew Dubai airlines.  To say the least, it doesn’t allow as much checked-bagged weight as they allow in usa.  My extra kilos would’ve cost me $980.  I eliminated much of the weight...
