How To Series #6 | Create a Media Badge
MEDIA BADGES + TRAVEL | Let’s talk about it. traveling with gear can be a hassle, but with a media badge it’s doable. Here’s a few reasons why I finally did a DIY media badge and how you can too!
PROS for media badge:
Less Cost overall. There are weight restrictions and this helps you either get your bag checked for free (not much longer through SWA) or at the regular rate which is huge. They can charge you a lot for weight, which I don’t blame them!
You can add your own credentials - your logo, your name, your business.
It’s accepted everywhere. The legacy airlines all respect the federal rules which is great!
CONS for media bagde:
You have to have it on you, or so I have. One time I forget the badge and she accepted the digital version so who knows.
That’s about it. There are no other cons:)
Here is your link to create your own badge! I edited the file in Adobe Photoshop and printed through a site I cannot find once I tried, agh! But there are a few to choose from!
Also, the man that just sat next to me in the terminal has on too much cologne so that’s an issue. If I pass out, you’ll know why:)
