    There is a reputable supplier who is mac-centric, here:

    MacBook Air - owc SSD

    Upgrades up to 1.0TB

     

    Also they show (where applicable) • Install Videos to help

    upgrade various models whose upgrade parts they

    may have available. Some newer ones, or those still

    under AppleCare, you should refer to Authorized Apple

    Service Provider (independent certified shops) if the

    official Apple store cannot upgrade the unit for you.

     

    {An idea may be to use external storage for some items

    that don't need to reside on internal storage; but that is

    a potential source of trouble if you don't have that drive

    along with you. Or, if external drive needs its own power.

     

    A few guides for various Mac models can be viewed at

    iFixit.com to see if yours is listed there among portables.
