"These are best for solo fliers and those flexible with their time. The number of companies offering courier flights has dwindled, and the deals aren't as good as they once were. In some cases, consolidators can meet or beat courier prices. The system usually works like this: A cargo company buys a passenger seat to send a shipment overseas as checked baggage because it can clear customs faster. Then the company sells the seat at a discount to a passenger willing to give up his or her baggage allotment and fly only with carry-on luggage. The discount depends on routes, time of year and how quickly the cargo needs to arrive." From The LA Times
