Avoid the Hassles of Holiday Travel

Oshkosh, WI, November 03, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Are you planning to go see grandma and grandpa or visit the in-laws over the upcoming holidays? How about taking that ski trip to Vermont or Colorado? If so, you had better start planning now as travel experts are predicting the 2007 holiday travel season to be one of the busiest ever, particularly for air travelers. Along with the increase in number of air travelers comes increased airport congestion, long waiting lines, delayed flights and of course, more lost or misplaced baggage.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics recently reported the number of bags lost or delayed by airlines continues to climb with a daily average of 14,101 in August. It was the worst month for baggage-handling since December 2004. Why the increase? Trouble with checked bags was partly the result with the increased security along with tighter airline restrictions that include additional fees. Passengers who normally carried their luggage are checking the baggage due to tighter restrictions and weight and size limitations.

In an effort to avoid the long waiting lines and reduce the potential of lost or delayed baggage, many air travelers are now planning their holiday travels to include shipping their baggage to their destination in advance of their trip. Niche companies such as The Luggage Club, the premier door-to-door luggage, sports equipment and goods delivery experts, offer their services to help remove the uncertainty and stress for travelers. The Luggage Club is positioned to meet the needs of this growing trend of travelers who have decided to play it safe by shipping their luggage in advance of their trip. Travelers’ luggage can be picked up at their home, office or location of choice and delivered to their final travel destination, and returned again at the end of their trip. Plus, The Luggage Club has no limits on size, weight or number of pieces that can be shipped.

“In today’s busy world when time is such a factor our service provides a gateway to avoid many of the hassles of traveling.” says Gene Langenecker, President of The Luggage Club. He goes on to say “Today’s travelers are more savvy than ever before and are looking for smarter ways to travel so our service is a perfect fit, plus it provides the traveler with the peace-of-mind of knowing their items will be delivered to their travel destination safely, secure and on time”.
