OSHKOSH, WI - July 30, 2007 - If you think the airlines only lose
luggage belonging to the "Average Joe", guess again. Just ask the six
American-based professional golfers whose luggage was recently lost by
the airlines when flying to Carnoustie, Scotland to play in the
British Open. That would include their clubs, too. Or ask Katherine
Heigl (Dr."Izzie" from Grey´s Anatomy) whose luggage was lost last
week by American Airlines when returning from New York City to Los
Angeles where she has been filming, "27 Dresses".
Airlines are continuing to struggle with the problem of lost, delayed
and mishandled baggage, and it´s not expected to get better anytime
soon. According to the July 2007 Air Travel Consumer Report issued by
the US Department of Transportation, in May 2007, airlines mishandled
5.93 bags per 1000 passengers; a 25.2% increase over May 2006. Summer
is one of the busiest times of the year for air travel because of
family vacations, sporting events and off-site business functions,
which have compounded an already existing problem of airport
congestion. Add that on top of other issues such as heightened
security measures, long luggage check-in lines and an increase in the
number of mishandled bags, and you have a lot of frustrated travelers
on your hands.
There is an alternative to help travelers eliminate some of the stress
and headaches associated with air travel; ship your luggage ahead.
Today´s savvy travelers have discovered a way to completely avoid the
hassles of checked baggage by shipping their bags "door-to-door" in
advance of their trip. Companies such as The Luggage Club, will pick-
up your luggage, sports equipment or goods at your home, office or
location of choice, and deliver them directly to your final
destination, and return them again if you prefer.
"Travelers from all walks of life are tired of dealing with lost
luggage", says Gene Langenecker, President of The Luggage Club. He
goes on to say, "Our clients include not only business and leisure
travelers, but also professional sports figures, politicians, movie
stars and educators from around the world." So, whether you are a
professional golfer, a movie star or just the "Average Joe", consider
shipping your bags in advance and eliminate at least one of the
hassles of air travel, lost luggage.

program for Physically Disadvantaged Travelers, Corporate Program for
