14.Getting ripped off from time to time is just part of traveling---don't let it ruin your day or your overall experience.But there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common rip-offs.Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees,disappointed experiences and overpriced items.
Baggage Fees
Depending upon the airline,you can pay 15to75for the first checked bag,and more for overweight bags.When possible,pack a bag lightly enough to a carry-on or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags(two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue).Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag,so check your status.
Overpriced Hotel and Airport Food
To avoid the overpriced water sold at airports,bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airport.Then,fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you.Pick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar,which can lead to expensive surprises on your final bill.
Tourist Trap Restaurants
If you're visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence,Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons(優(yōu)惠券) that might get some extra savings.Often restaurants run deals on Yelp where if you"check in"at that restaurant and review it,you get a free dessert or 15% off the total bill,etc.By researching online,you'll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available,but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now.
