Please note there are weight and size restictions on the luggage. And different airports do not have the smae "strick-ness". When I went to the Rose parade I put all my armor and some clothes in an anvil box. when I left BWI (Baltimore) the girl put the heavy tag on the box and aske dif I wouldn't mind setting it on the conveyer. When I left california, they said it was over 70 lbs and it would cost me an extra $80!!. Also, I was told between 50 and 70 lbs it would have been $45. In the future I will break them up between 2 boxes. I have also read an article that you might be paying for all bags in the future, reguardless of weight.
