How To Pack With Today’s New Bag Fees on Hawaiian Flights

How To Pack With Today’s New Bag Fees on Hawaiian NOVEMBER 13, 2018  by  BEAT OF HAWAII   19 COMMENTS Airline fees are annoying and even though we can pay them, we simply don’t want to. And it comes as no surprise that they are on the increase again today, this time from bellwether  Hawaiian Airlines . Effective for trans-Pacific flights booked on or after November 13, 2018, Hawaiian Air will be charging $30 for the first checked bag and $40 for the second checked bag. That’s an increase of $5 for each bag. Inter-island fees remain unchanged. What have you been doing about bag fees, if anything?  We’ve been rethinking what to pack when traveling to and from Hawaii, in part to reduce bag fees. For one thing, we just bought  new carry-on’s  that really help (see tips and tricks below). These fees are across all airlines with the lone exception of soon to be arriving  Southwest Hawaii flights . It seems harder to avoid them w...

Grace Szczepkowski in rehearsal with CHICAGO cast The long-running hit musical  Chicago   (High School Edition)  will be presented by Mainstage Center for the Arts at the Dennis Flyer Theatre on the Blackwood campus of Camden County College on November 16 and 17.  Chicago  has been presented on Broadway for over 9,107 performances since the revival opened in 1996, and won six Tony awards, including  Best Revival of a Musical . The original production, directed and choreographed by the legendary Bob Fosse, opened in June of 1975 and was nominated for nine Tony awards. Billed as “a musical vaudeville,”   Chicago  is based on a play by the same name written in 1926 by Maurine Dallas Watkins. It tells the story of Roxie Hart, who finds herself on Murderer’s Row in the Cook County Jail after shooting her lover. Smooth-talking attorney Billy Flynn agrees to take on Roxie’s case and manipulates the Chicago press to make Roxie a celebrity. Rox...

Here’s what some cast members are saying: “Roxie Hart is such a fascinating individual to explore and become.

I feel so fortunate to be part of this production. Velma has always been a dream role of mine,” said Cassie Matteo (Velma). “One thing that is unique to this production here at Mainstage is that I get to perform along with kids I direct in the summer. I respect them as young actors and I’m really looking forward to sharing this fun experience with them,” said Anthony Magnotta (Billy Flynn). Come t...
