It's less than sending stuff by post? That's a surprise since I have read a few time that sending stuff ahead is a way to save money.

You posted things internationally to save money? There's no "freight" option from the US to the UK s0 a 50lbs box would be at least $170. So, yeah $50 is cheaper.

Not just going to Scotland, but going to study in Scotland, right?

Chris told me this yesterday that everything went through and I'm so happy for you guys! And well, for you mainly as well obvs. ;)

I always over pack books for long flights, and typically don't finish 1 or 2. You may want to rethink this option or go for bigger/weightier tomes. I typically read about 75 pages an hour. So my 300 page Jane Austen cozy, started on the my single day flight to/from East Coast yesterday was perfect since flight time was 2 hours there and roughly 2.5 hours back. Minus all the weather fuckery and etc. ;)

ta! and I'm less interested in having things to do on the plan than in getting around the luggage restrictions. The jokes was whether or not I can convince them that I need 9 hardcover anthologies for a 10hr flight.
