AIRLINES around the world are now charging customers for carrying excess kilograms or baggage on their aircraft to help prevent greenhouse gas emissions.

There is also an option to pay to offset your greenhouse gas emissions if needed and this is all about the greenly way of life.

It means it is your chance to help the planet particularly if you’re a frequent flyer.

The less baggage you take on the plane means that you are helping the plane fly easier which eases the greenhouse gas emissions from the plane.

It makes life easier for the plane, the earth and yourself; although you may have to reduce your baggage.

There is a surcharge payment for those who wish to purchase baggage which helps people reduce the amount of baggage they carry on the plane.

The surcharge is generally an extra $20 on top of the flight charge.

This never used to happen and many people would carry as many kilos as they want on the plane.

Now aircrafts around the world have taken on these rules to help save the planet.
