If you’re a frequent traveler, joining a frequent flier program that offers free checked bags can help you save money and avoid airline baggage fees. Some credit cards also waive airline bag fees when used to book your flight.
Some luggage delivery services pick up suitcases at your home and deliver them to the destination of your choice. These services can be expensive, but they offer a hassle-free alternative to hauling heavy suitcases through airports and around town. They can also provide an affordable alternative to buying overpriced airline baggage insurance for your luggage.
Luggage free, based in New York City, will pick up and deliver your suitcases anywhere in the world (including some fairly remote locales). It’ll provide shipping labels for you to attach to your luggage and will handle customs forms. Its service includes white glove pickup and drop-off, on-time guarantee and $500 of complimentary coverage.
The airlines can charge up to $75 per bag for international flights on some of their cheapest tickets. It might be worth purchasing a premium economy or business class ticket to get two free checked bags and a speedy, convenient trip. Frequent flier programs and some co-branded credit cards also offer airline baggage fee waivers. However, there are limits imposed by the airline and the number of bags you can ship for free will vary. Checked bag fees are also sometimes rolled into your ticket price, so it’s important to check the fine print of your specific itinerary.
