How to deal with excess baggage?
I might have some excess bagage on my next flight with KLM. According to KLM's website excess baggage could be checked in online with a 20% discount.
Are there other options? Long, long ago there was always the option of sea mail. This is no longer offered.
What are alternatives for sending excess bagage cheaper then taking it with me on the flight?
