ive done my research into being an air courier so i could get to the Dam, it turns out flights are not as cheap as you might think, and your schedule is not your own. a webwise traveler can find similar or better deals on discount airline sites and you can do what you want when you want, and bring whatever you want. (couriers are usually allowed no luggage, just one carry-on if that sort of thing bothers you) :)

I dont think there cheap i know. there is alot of up and downs with it and me personally wouldnt do it. even thou i do travel light, I have plenty of money to pay for my own plane ticket. But I have friends that have done it and found flights in the summer time for $250 dollars, Round trip and i belive it was for 1 to 2 weeks. SO you might want to consider doing more research. :D

it probably all depends on location, when you fly and how much notice you get. its a nice thought to go, but its not a reality for me at this point, good luck to the rest of ya :)
