Checking Bags with Fedex

Many consultants do a lot of traveling in their course of work.  Whether it's to see clients, work on consulting projects, meeting with prospective customers or just visiting a colleague, traveling is a part of the consultants life.  Of course, much of that travel has reduced due to technological advances, but many argue that technology may have just exacerbated it.

In any case, all the little fees that airlines are now charging can add up to be a lot when you're in the air constantly.  $20 for this bag, $30 for that bad, it all adds up.  Now with more restrictions on carry on luggage because of security concerns, this is getting even worse.  Many people are now using Fedex to mail their bags that they used to previously check at the airline counter.  People are finding this to be a cheaper and easier alternative than checking your bag.

You simply pack your bag, go to a Fedex office and ship it to the hotel of your next destination.  You don't have to roll it through the airport parking lot, drag it through the long lines at the check in counter and you don't have to lug it all the way to your hotel.  Not only is it cheaper, it's a lot less work for you.
