Leave The Baggage Behind

After the debacle of the opening of T5 in London and the increasing incidence of airlines losing passengers bags worldwide is it any wonder that door-to-door baggage delivery is hot. Already big in the USA & UK its gradually spreading to new territories like Australia & Asia. Companies like firstluggage.com , luggageforward.com and PersonalPorter.com.au have hit the sweet spot.

Guaranteeing no lost luggage,no heavy lifting and a breeze going through the airport at a cost that usually no greater than excess baggage costs it is become the 'norm' for a lot of travelers. The trick is having your bags packed a few days or a week before you go and then they will be waiting for you at the hotel when you arrive. Some companies even send you SMS updates so you can check on your bags progress as it travels. No thats cool!
