Could you be a courier?

To be a courier, you'll yield your checked baggage allotment.
Overseas travelers should consider flying as couriers. A company will use your checked baggage allotment and reward you with a very low fare. Obviously, this isn't for people with a lot of luggage or for travelers who have strict schedules. It also is not nearly as popular (nor as thrifty) as it was a few years ago. But if you are serious about exploring all the best airfare options overseas, consider becoming a courier.
