BaggageWise exists because airline baggage rules have become a maze designed to extract fees from people who don't have time to read 40-page contracts of carriage. We translate those rules into something useful.
Marcus is a 15-year flight operations specialist. He has worked behind the ticket counter, on the ramp, and in airline ops control rooms during peak holiday meltdowns. He's watched thousands of passengers get hit with overweight fees they didn't see coming, and he's seen what a $200 surcharge feels like at 6 a.m. on the way to a vacation.
BaggageWise started as a Google Doc he kept sending to family members before every trip. It got long. Then it got linked. Then it became a site.
