Anyone remember those "courier" services where people got a cheap/free ticket in exchange for some priority freight company getting access to their carry-on and checked bag allowance?

Seems that pretty much went away due to security concerns (although a quick Google showed a company called Airmule that appears to have limited "service").

Maybe this will come back and also make mileage runs more profitable.

Fly a long-haul roundtrip and get the ticket paid for in exchange for letting some executive or photographer use your electronics allowance.
