OSHKOSH, Wisc. (April 21, 2006) -- The numbers are out and air travelers came out on the short end of the baggage carousel - again. The Department of Transportation recently announced that U.S. airlines lost about 3.5 million bags on domestic flights in 2005; that is more than 10,000 bags on average each day. Worldwide, airlines lost a record 30 million bags last year.
For this reason, today’s air travelers are now turning to companies such as The Luggage Club, a leading door-to-door luggage and goods delivery service. It is no longer necessary for travelers to lug their heavy and awkward bags to, through and from the airport. The Luggage Club will pick-up your luggage, sports equipment, business materials, mobility-impaired equipment and other goods at your home or office and deliver them to your final travel destination. The Luggage Club provides stress-free and hands-free travel, and eliminates the inconveniences associated with standing in long luggage check-in and security-screening lines or waiting at baggage carousels for luggage to arrive. Services are available for domestic and international travel.
“We commend the airlines for their efforts in attempting to address the issue of mishandled baggage, however, controlling skyrocketing fuel costs and addressing labor issues are understandably the most pressing concerns and top priorities of airline management to help improve the bottom line”, said Gene Langenecker, CEO and Co-Chairman of The Luggage Club. Langenecker goes on to say, “Today’s business and leisure travelers deserve the peace-of-mind of knowing their bags are going to be waiting for them at their destination.”
The Luggage Club offers discounted prices to disabled travelers and can ship wheelchairs, walkers and other mobility-assisted equipment. Corporate Programs, Affiliate Programs, Travelers Club Programs and Gift Cards are also available.
