​Travel Light and Save

​It may sound like mission impossible but if you learn to travel light with only your carry-on baggage you will save a tremendous amount of time and money. You can ride the bus instead of taking a taxi. You won’t have to hire a trolley to carry all your suitcases. If your flight is overbooked, you can volunteer to get bumped (you’ll get a voucher for a free ticket), and not worry about whether you will ever catch up with your checked luggage.  You can go straight through security to the departure gate. You can avoid the baggage claim area and go straight to the taxi rank or bus stop and beat the queues. I never travel with more than my laptop bag and my overnight bag, no matter how long the trip, smiling to myself as I bypass the airport queues.
