About Luggage Forward

Luggage Forward was born out of the simple idea that we should all be able to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.  Our philosophy is simple: An  enjoyable travel experience does not involve carrying or checking your luggage.   A great vacation does not begin at the baggage carousel, or worse yet, with lost or late arriving  luggage or sports equipment.

How It All Got Started

In 2004, two guys who had met in high school and spent their share of time schlepping bags through airports set out to fundamentally change the way people travel.  Luggage Forward has since grown to become the leading provider of door-to-door luggage and sports equipment delivery to more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.  Offering a range of specialized options allowing clients the convenience of traveling without their bags, Luggage Forward has multiple services and price points to fit the requirements of almost any itinerary. The company has pioneered a straightforward process of forwarding luggage by leveraging proprietary technology as well as trusted relationships with a comprehensive network of agents and shippers, resulting in unparalleled reliability. Luggage Forward’s industry-leading set of online tools allows clients to generate pricing, securely book online and track luggage real-time. Powered by the proprietary Automated Routing Control™ system, the Luggage Forward website is able to instantly identify the most reliable, convenient and cost-effective method of shipment for each individual booking.

The Luggage Forward Family of Brands

Beginning in 2009, Luggage Forward embarked on a strategy of consolidation of the then-fragmented luggage shipping industry. Ultimately, seven different brands have been acquired so far. The combined industry experience of these companies approaches 50 years. These additions have fortified Luggage Forward’s leadership position in the fast growing luggage delivery market.
