Another idea from a colleague:
>>I've been wondering if it is possible to turn the airline bag fee into a sponsorship opportunity...whether for golf clubs or other bags... Probably it would be too tough for the airlines to handle.
But if a sponsor did a special luggage tag and then when you showed up at the airport to check bags, your fee was waived and the sponsor paid the airline... I know way too complicated. But I'm still thinking of an easy way for this to be done!<<
