Luggage Advance Introduces Hands-Free Holiday Travel

Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Airline travel is expected to be at record levels during the 2006 holiday season. In addition to the increased number of travelers, newly imposed TSA (Transportation Security Administration) restrictions for carryon and checked baggage will pose even greater challenges to holiday travelers.

Luggage Advance, a nationwide luggage delivery service, offers holiday travelers a simple and convenient alternative. Luggage Advance can pick up a traveler's bags, including holiday packages, at his home or office and deliver them directly to his destination allowing a traveler to fly virtually "hands-free."

"While TSA recently lightened some carryon restrictions, what defines 'carryon' has dramatically changed," said Jon Trevelise, CEO of Luggage Advance. "Now travelers essentially have to check all of their bags, yet at the same time certain airlines have imposed new weight restrictions for checked bags, so travelers may be further limited on what they can take with them."

Trevelise points out that Luggage Advance allows air travelers to avoid these relatively new and stressful complications of flying with luggage.

"Our clients are becoming spoiled," said Trevelise. "They avoid standing in long lines at check-in, being delayed at security check points, or waiting at baggage claim carousels. Instead, they move through airports hands-free, and in turn stress-free -- which is especially nice during this season that tends to add undue stress."

Trevelise added that because Luggage Advance does not use commercial airlines to deliver baggage, travelers can lock their bags and need not worry about them being opened in route.

"Packing a special holiday gift in your bag becomes a little more palatable when you know your bags will never be opened," said Trevelise. "Luggage Advance utilizes experienced travel concierges and a proprietary online software engine to help ensure clients' bags arrive safe, secure and on-time."
