A new service makes it easier for travelers to get from the airport to their location, without having to carry heavy bags around or even pick them up at the luggage carousel. This time saving new service created by BagsVIP allows travelers to not worry about the hassle of their bags.
ABC News reported that United Airlines and American Airlines are using Bags VIP which is a bag delivery service launched last summer.
"For $29.95 one piece of luggage, for $39.95 two pieces of luggage and for $49.95 three to ten pieces of luggage delivered directly to your home, office, hotel or destination of your choice," says Bags VIP's website.
United's new partnership with Bags VIP goes on to six different airports including Chicago, Honolulu, Boston, Los Angeles and Orlando. American's partnership goes towards all of its hubs which includes 250-270 destinations.
"I think the service is unique in that this particular service allows passengers to buy their tickets, check in like you normally would and go to the hotel room," said Dennis Garrow, senior vice president of BagsVIP. To ABC News. "We'll recover your luggage and deliver it."
BagsVIP says that its delivery time is within four hours of arrival time within 40 miles or less from the airport. For locations that are 40 to 100 miles away from the airport, the arrival time is around 6 hours.
When travelers land, instead of having to wait for their bag at the baggage claim they can go directly to their final destination.
"I've been trying to sell this idea to the airlines for the last five years," said Garrow to ABC News. "We're very excited."
