Gadling TAKE FIVE: Week of May 17-23

by Jamie Rhein (RSS feed) on May 23rd 2008 at 5:00PM

This has been a week where deal snagging has been a bit elusive and prices are rising.

For example:

Grant noted American Airlines announcement that it will start charging $15 for the first checked bag.
Jeffrey gave us details about how we can expect the price of plane tickets to keep going up as the availability of flights go down.
Aaron made note of the higher gas prices which could affect some travel plans for drivers this three-day weekend.
Iva has been searching in Moscow for things that are cheap without much luck, unless one considers the subway, vodka and symphony tickets.

But, on the bright side, Tynan was hooked up once more with his beloved Aloksak Plastic Bags which can help pack items more tightly so they can fit in those carry-ons. Plus, they are waterproof so things like your camera won't get ruined. That's money saving.
