CarryMyLuggage.com has launched a new EU service for British holidaymakers and business travellers fed up with spiralling add-on baggage charges of the so-called ‘low cost’ airlines.

The company, which has been providing luggage services since 2004, has launched a door-to-door EU Economy Service where passengers’ bags are collected from their home and delivered to their hotel, resort or villa ahead of the traveller.

The company believes its new online EU Economy Service will, for many passengers, be cheaper even than the standard baggage charges on the big ‘low cost’ airlines.

Simon Huxford, MD of CarryMyLuggage.com, said: “British tourists are being charged up to £190 round-trip with certain low cost airlines simply for the privilege of taking a standard 20kg suitcase on holiday – our service starts from £65 one way for the same item.

“We think our EU Economy Service will also appeal to those who prefer not to travel with heavy bags, so it’s ideal for the elderly or infirm, single parents travelling with children, through to people who are unable to carry bags because of a disability.”

As well as providing a trackable, insured service for holidaymakers and business travellers heading to or from EU countries, CarryMyLuggage.com can also transport ski and snowboard equipment as well as golf bags.
