OSHKOSH, WI - January 15, 2008 - Just when most people thought things
are turning around and travel will become less stressful in the
future, some experts are now saying that 2008 could be an even bumpier
ride than 2007 for congested airports, long security check-in lines,
overbooked flights, missed connections and, of course, lost luggage.
The problem of lost, delayed and mishandled baggage continues to be
one of the airlines industry´s largest complaints; and with good
cause. In November 2007, the U.S. Department of Transportation
reported 3.5 million incidences of missing bags for the year, compared
to 2.9 million in the same period of 2006, a 21% increase. The 2007
year-end numbers are not yet available, but they could be equally as
chilling or worse, especially with the large number of weather delays
that occurred during the busy holiday travel season in December.
Many of today´s savvy travelers have determined there is a better way
to travel without checked baggage - and are instead shipping their
baggage to their destination in advance of their trip. Niche companies
such as The Luggage Club, today´s premier door-to-door luggage, sports
equipment and goods delivery experts, offer their services to help
remove the stress of lost or delayed baggage. 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.
"Now that the busy holiday travel season is behind us, some travelers
think the lost luggage problems are behind us, but we speak to
travelers every day who are no longer willing to take that chance,"
says Todd Kempinger, CEO of The Luggage Club. He goes on to say,
"Whether it´s the frequent business traveler or the periodic leisure
traveler, we are seeing a growing number of people who can see the
handwriting on the wall and expect things to get worse before they get
better."
The Luggage Club offers a variety of money-saving programs including a
program for Physically Disadvantaged Travelers, Corporate Program for
business travelers, Frequent Traveler Program and Travel Agent Program
for travel professionals. Gift Cards are also available for purchase.
Services are available throughout 220 countries worldwide.
