Fortunately, Luggage Forward had picked up my golf clubs from my house in South Carolina earlier in the week and they were now waiting for me in my hotel. The company specializes in sending luggage ahead of travelers, allowing them to avoid extra cost at the airport and the hassle of lost baggage. The weekend included 54 holes of golf between rounds at Yale University Golf Club and Winged Foot. Removing the large variable of traveling with clubs made the short 2 day trip exponentially more enjoyable.
Gone are the days when you arrived 20 minutes before your flight is scheduled to leave; quickly check your luggage and hop on your plane.
Just checking your bags has become a major project. Who would have ever guessed that your luggage would develop into an entity of it own that provides a major source of income for the airlines? This is regardless if the price of your ticket produces a great deal of capital for them, or not.
I find it noteworthy that this one decision by the airlines has created a financial windfall for Federal Express and UPS. In addition it has spawn companies such as Luggage Forward and Sports Express.
These companies were formed out of the desire to find a less costly way to transport our ‘stuff’, during a trip. The exasperating part of this matter is that this one change has increased the bottom line of the airlines by the millions of dollars while costing the traveler additional money.
