First Luggage Review

Posted by Ruth Miller on Wed 16th April 2008 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Travel NewsTravel Tips

As someone who travels fairly regularly, I’m always looking for the path of least resistance. i.e the easier it is to travel the better.

Add into the mix security and teething problems at airports across the world (Heathrow Terminal 5 et al) and I’m seriously considering services like First Luggage. They claim to be shipping up to 6000 pieces of luggage for international travellers.


You can see why, when First Luggage statistics seem to indicate one in six bags go missing nowadays

First Luggage say:

We collect any items (including outsized skis/surfboards etc) prior to the day of departure and delivers them direct to the destination (be it hotel or holiday home) so that it awaits its owners on their arrival. Travellers can check-out of check-in queues and cruise past the luggage carousel hands-free. And with all items scanned up to 20 times en route, the perennial fear of luggage going astray has been all but eliminated – there is even the option to log-in online using a unique tracking number to check the progress of the baggage.

It’s an interesting concept and one well worth considering if you wish to take some of the hassle out of travelling.
