Here is little list TryMyDEALS editors have put together to help you save some extra bucks at the airport.

1. Reserve Airport Parking Early - Parking at some large airports can be up to $22 dollars a day, a great way to save on parking is to book it early, just like airline ticket. Go to "aboutairportparking.com" which sorts out the best parking deals near your airport in addition to giving you general delay info. 

2. Check Baggage Restrictions - Almost airlines now charge for extra baggage and have weight restrictions. Be familiar with your airline policy before you pack. Also remember to not bring cologne or any other liquid that wont meet TSA's 3 ounce rule, ie. that expensive perfume you have. A great way to avoid this is to go to target / walmart and buy the little containers for your toiletries. For tips on how to pack light go to onebag.com, smarpacking.com or google "packing light". 

3. Carryon Size - Make sure your carry-on does not exceed airline restrictions of 45 linear inches or less. (to calculate add the height, width and depth of the bag, which most must not exceed 45). Go to sites like Ebags.com for great carry on deals.

4. Pack Snacks - Most airlines have stopped serving food on the flights for free, so before you head out to the airport pick up your meal of choice. Remember no water over 3ounces can be brought in, so purchase the drink in the airport or do what our editors do, we just bring an empty carry on bottle with Ice Tea powder and use the water fountains.
