High School Algebra Teacher Simplifies Airline Luggage Equation

 And you thought algebra was useless…

The new FREE search tool for flight-specific baggage information, www.luggagelimits.com developed by a high school algebra teacher, Luke Dudley, goes further than any other website in finding flight luggage information. The website allows the user to enter an airline, along with the departure and arrival airports then uses that information to find the exact luggage policy on their selected flight. Not stopping at simple checked baggage information, this site also provides the same flight specific information on flights’ carry-on baggage, excess baggage sizes & costs. It also allows the user to browse through all the different ticket class baggage policies including airline club benefits, on the specified flight.

“Interpreting airline luggage policies from their websites can be daunting,” said website founder Luke Dudley, who, as a boarding school Algebra teacher, took notice of this problem through students during the summer of 2008. “Seeing the students travel to and from school on a regular basis with numerous items of baggage, and at a time when jet fuel and airline hidden fees were rapidly increasing, gave me the idea for an online resource that can help travelers avoid, or at least prepare for, these extra costs.”
