subject: Enjoy life in the fast lane by sending luggage separately to the USA [print this page] When the opportunity arises to head across the Atlantic for a holiday in America, it's important to remember not to try to cram too much into the stay. Many people compile an itinerary which proves too ambitious, and fail to realise the distances which might have to be covered, and time zones crossed.
The USA has the most extensive network of internal flights of any country in the world, so it is easy to cover large distances in a relatively short time. But with a little forethought, it Is equally possible to add extra stops without having to carry a full complement of luggage. The way to do this is to make full use of USA shipping facilities. Most major airports offer travellers the ability to send their luggage on ahead of them, allowing them to travel lighter for a period, making exploring so much easier.
Then, when the time comes, the passenger simply takes their next onward flight, and collects their luggage which will be waiting for them in a secure office at their destination. These arrangements make it possible to schedule impromptu stop-offs at points along the planned route. As long as the basic essentials are carried, the rest of a traveller's luggage can be sent on another flight, and deposited at the next port of call.
It can then be kept in secure storage there, ready for when its owner takes their onward flight, and stops off at the left luggage desk at their arrival airport to collect it, on their way to their hotel or lodgings. Transit and storage charges for these services are very reasonable when it is considered how much inconvenience and lugging around of heavy cases and bags can be avoided by this means.
There might be some destinations where the length of the stop-over planned does not warrant taking every item of luggage. In this case, a simple, compact overnight bag allows the requisite items to be carried, while the remaining luggage is forwarded by fast and efficient scheduled air services, and deposited at the arrival airport.
There is also no need to worry about security, because the luggage shipping company will check the baggage in, undertaking their own checks before doing so. And on arrival at the destination, bags will again have passed through security so will have been cleared allowing for a quick collection and getaway. It really does give a new meaning to the phrase life in the fast lane'.
