Lands' End Launches FlightWise

With many airlines charging to check in baggage, travelers are often forced to pay for fees instead of fun. In fact, according to the US Transportation Department, checked baggage fees are 33 percent higher this year compared to 2009. So far that higher percentage has translated to the airline industry collecting $769 million in just the first quarter of the year!

"We specifically designed the FlightWise collection, featuring six different pieces, to meet airline carry-on guidelines, which means travelers can save $50-$75 per trip," said Shawn Colley, senior luggage merchant, Lands' End. In fact, in a recent Lands' End survey of over 700 frequent flyers at FlyerTalk.com, over 73 percent of respondents preferred to carry on to avoid baggage fees.
