Jib.li is a new platform that enables travelers to delegate their travelling equipment and make profit off their unused space.
Airlines have ridiculous carry-on limitations and fees for going over the given weight, which is a struggle I have to deal with quite frequently. I am glad that someone finally came up with an idea to profit off these unreasonable rules.
The website lets travelers seek others who have available space to carry their extra luggage for them for a reasonable price to avoid overweight fees. They can also request people to bring them things that they need from the countries they are arriving from.
Jib.li not only helps people avoid unreasonable fees, but is also a great platform that lets light travelers and backpackers make some extra money.
