Curious Ritz asked:

Hi, I am in IT and make above 90K. My employer is sending me from Seattle to Denver for a year long gig. They will fly me over once, I will be there for 2 weeks (company will pay for the fly and the accommodation) and then my wife and I will drive down there (20 hours drive). They are paying little over $1500 for the relocation cost. We don’t have much luggage but I do need to ship my TV and other stuff. I have a furnished apartment in Seattle which costs me $700. It will cost me around the same there but un-furnished apartment so I have to bear a cost of furniture and other stuff.

Now, do you think they are being cheap? or not paying enough or am I over reacting?
One more thing: We don’t have state tax in Washington state but there is a state tax in Colorado which comes out to be $3000 yearly from my pocket.

LVgirl asked:

I am planning to relocate out of state. (Southern CA to WV). I am not able to drive across the country in my car. I am going to fly there and have my belongings shipped at a later time. Hiring a moving company and van is way out of my budget. Heavy items in boxes will be expensive to ship. Can I take 2 suitcases and 1 carry on bag? One suitcase will have clothes, the other will have shoes and some important books. The carry on bag will have personal items and my business portfolio. Is that allowed? What is the limit? Any other suggestions?
Much appreciated.

I was jw if you can put fireworks in your luggage, not in any carry on, just the luggage that is put under the plane or on a different shipping plane. Thanks
I was just wondering if you can put fireworks in your BAGGAGE, the bags that you don’t fly with, but you pick up at the airport you land at (baggage claim). they dont go through security, and they aren’t brought on the plane as carry-ons.

My mom and I travel a lot, and when we want to get somewhere far away in no time flat, we fly.

We have to buy a new luggage set every time we travel somewhere. Our old ones have holes, the zippers don’t work, the handle’s busted, wheels are missing, the straps are seperated… basically, the luggage is beat up beyond repair. Why is that?

You can’t get on an airplane with a snow globe in your carry on. Why does it have to be on the carry on? Well, read above. Anyway, it can go through so many X-Rays that it glows green, but it can’t go in your luggage. I had to have it shipped.

The security takes waaaaay too long. Take off your shoes, jacket, socks, hair, leg, and brain before proceeding through the metal detector. BEEP! Whoops. Looks like the iron in your blood set it off. Please sit and wait while we drain your blood and check it for harmful substances.

It’s too much. What’s your airport hell story?

HI I’m going back to South Africa in September of this year as I’m a South African Citizen and my visa expires in September. I just bought a PS3 and will have tonnes of games when I leave in September unfortunately not GTA4 as it only comes out in October anyway I need to know how much tax I will pay if I take it with me when I fly back home that’s if I can take it on the plane (luggage restrictions!!!) as it is classed as al luxury goods in S.A if not I’ll have to ship it or send it through with air freight (last option as I don’t want to loose sight of it when I fly home)any help would be helpful.

Thanx

Emily R asked:

I am flying from Spain to the US with some alcoholic gifts, and I am 20 years old. So it was legal for me to buy them in Spain but it’s not legal for me to have them in the US. So do I need to ship them home or can I put them in my checked luggage? Do I have to declare it?

indomitable0l asked:

I’m moving cross-country in August to a furnished apartment. I am planning to fly myself into my new location. I am certain that all of the clothes and small items that I need to take with me will not fit into the allowable amount of luggage, but I don’t need anything as large (and expensive) as a POD or other similar shipping service because it’s really not anywhere near that much stuff. How can I get my things delivered to me in good condition, at a good price, and on my move-in date?
