Overheard a couple at the airport arguing about a $50 checked bag fee

They were flying a budget airline from Phoenix to Denver and hadn't read the fine print about carry-on size limits. I always pack a soft duffel that fits under the seat now to avoid that exact surprise. What's your go-to method for dodging airline baggage fees?

Actually, I just pay the fee to avoid the stress.

My buddy Mark got hit with a huge fee because his backpack was too bulky. He started using a specific brand of packable tote that folds into its own pocket. He stuffs his jacket in it after security and uses it as his personal item. It has saved him a ton of money.
