Luggage Forward, a shipper of luggage and sports equipment, is launching a tracking system for customers to get updates on the status of shipments through wireless devices...
The convenience of shipping unwieldy skis, boots and overstuffed luggage to your destination is no new concept. What's new, however, is how easy it's become. Luggage Forward, the newest company to join the fray, offers a simple pricing structure (you don't have to know the weight of your bag), the ability to set an exact pick-up time, and instant online price quotes.
Business travelers are nowadays all too familiar with the stress and inefficiencies of air travel...But new services are emerging that, for a price, could ease the hassles of travel: a helicopter shuttle that links John F. Kennedy International Airport and Manhattan; express security lanes through US airports; and a service that brings luggage directly to your destination...
CNN's Soledad O'Brien asks her guest "Oh, man. So tell us about this Luggage Forward." Correspondent Andey Serwer says "Well, this is -- there's a couple of them. One's called Luggage Forward, for instance. There's a story in the "USA Today" you can check out. And the way this one works is, they basically come to your house, grab your bags. You never see them again until they're in your hotel room. I mean how sweet is that?"
