For those of you, who missed it, here is the scoop on travel:

 
As many of you may know, as of May 5th 2008 (and more today), many domestic airlines started charging you for the 2nd checked in bag: that is one person flying coach is allowed only 1(one) bag. To check in a 2nd bag, you’ll have to pay $25. If you check in 3 bags, you will pay up to a $100 for each additional bag. Sixth bag? It may cost you $200. The rules vary for each airline.

 
Also, watch the weight of your bags (it will be monitored) and be careful with your carry-ons: while each airline has its own rules, the tendency of staffing your carry-on, because you are not allowed 2 free bags, will be watched.Business class, first class, frequent, Elite, Gold, etc. fliers are still allowed 2 free checked in bags per person.

 
Be prepared to pay increased penalty for changing itineraries (from $100 to $150 on domestic routes), and a Saturday-night stay may be required again for some fares. Window and aisle seats may cost more on some airlines, as well, as fees for accompanying minors.

 
For details about new airlines baggage policies, please, read newsletter by Expedia.  I would suggest, that you bookmark it, too.

And here is a less expensive news: As of Monday May 12, 2008, US Postage Stamp costs 42cents. However, if you have “Forever” series stamps, which you bought earlier for 41 cent a piece, you may still use it. From now on, the “Forever” stamp costs 42 and should carry you over this postage increase. USPS says, “it’s good forever”.Source: USPS.
