The British Airways bags problem is good news for First Luggage, a company created three years ago with the sole aim of making life easy for the passenger. First Luggage collects your items from home (or wherever) and delivers it to your destination. All you, the passenger, has to do is check-in, luggage-less, and get to the other end. Prices start from ”69 (”103) a bag to Europe which is only ”9 (”13) more than BA but with the luxury of having them picked up and delivered to your destination. The benefits for the traveller using luggage forwarding services are obvious: no lugging heavy bags, reduced check-in times, no anxious wait at the carousel on arrival.
First Luggage founder and managing director Gideon Kasfiner believes passionately that this is the future of the travel industry ” luggage travelling separately from the individual and operated by a company dedicated to getting it from A to B, leaving airlines to focus on the passenger.
"Airlines specialise in getting the consumer where they want to go, but we are the experts in transporting their luggage around the globe ” today”s announcement demonstrates a move toward this more clearly than ever,” he said: "Our company is coming into its own as airlines begin to actively dissuade passengers from checking in luggage. The concept of travelling luggage-free begins to appeal to consumers even more strongly as the financial incentive grows alongside the 'hassle free' element of First Luggage."
