American Airline to Deliver Luggage To Your Doorstep

American Airlines announced it would deliver customers' luggage to the desired destination be it home, office or hotel beginning on Monday.

The move makes American Airlines the first U.S. airline to team up with BAGS VIP Luggage Delivery to launch the new service to help customers be baggage free and there by ensure a relaxing journey. All customers have to do is purchase the new Baggage Delivery Service to bypass the airport baggage claim after arrival at the airport.

This Baggage Delivery Service will be available seven days a week, including all holidays. The service will start in more than 200 U.S. domestic airports and select international airports.

The procedure to avail this facility is very simple.

• Customers have the option to buy this service up to two hours prior to departure by clicking on "View Itinerary". Customers can also choose the service at the time of flight booking.
• The cost is $29.95 for one bag, $39.95 for two bags and $49.95 for three to 10 bags.
• On arrival at the airport, a special indicator will be printed on their bag tags to help BAGS VIP Luggage Delivery representatives identify the luggage and deliver it at the correct destination.
• Customers can thereby have a relaxing baggage-free journey and get their luggage delivered at their doorstep.
• For delivery locations within 40 miles from the airport, time for delivery ranges from one to four hours.

"Teaming up with BAGS VIP Luggage Delivery shows our commitment to provide more options to help our customers have a hassle-free trip," said David Vance, Managing Director - Customer Operations Planning. "We think this service will be especially valuable to families traveling with children as well as our business travelers who need to go straight to a meeting or into the office."

The price for Baggage Delivery Service is an add-on to existing airline charges and can be paid during check-in.

For bags to be delivered between 41 and 100 miles from the airport, there will be an additional $1 per-mile charge and an estimated extra delivery time of four to six hours instead of one to four hours.
