Between security and surcharges, bringing more than a carry-on bag onto a plane can be quite a chore these days.
To combat that, some people are now shipping their luggage.
More and more people are shipping their bags through services like UPS so their bags are waiting for them when they arrive, and they don't have to pay newly imposed fees for checking luggage.
Another benefit of shipping your luggage: you won't have to leave home what you can't bring past security gates.
However, depending on your destination, shipping your bag may cost a lot more than simply taking it with you.
