With airlines still shaking us down for checked luggage money, JetSetter Fresh will teach you how to pack and sack it under the seat in front of you. There are few simple ways to make sure to pack everything you need in a bag that allows you to pick-up and go from the flight.

Rule 1. Use a soft and durable duffel bag.

What do you do when your airline’s airplanes start to slack in the class department? You introduce a new plane that takes you from ashy to classy. American Airlines said don’t call it a comeback because they’ve been here for years. (We just didn’t care.) They introduced the new Boeing 777-300ER today with plans to let you enjoy the new flight soon.

American Airlines will be the first US carrier with new aircraft that make the old 777 look like a Winnebago. The new airliner has a significantly longer wingspan that delivers an “Extended Range,” almost 2,000 nautical miles more than the old model. This airliner 310 seats for seekers of new lands powered by twinjets with two engines that provide more power than the Kanye West song. American Airlines will own the skies with the largest airplane flown across the US. Hopefully, more airlines will bring out the Boeing 777-300ERs for those that love to travel in class and luxury.
