With winter fun and relaxation in mind, meeting my kids in Park City after my husband and I attended the Consumer Electronics show seemed like a wonderful idea. The problem? Planning, scheduling, and packing! Searching for affordable solutions to make our trip more manageable, I started with one of the more complicated travel issues – luggage.
Our travel schedule, which merged two trips into one, required that my husband and I somehow pack luggage for both destinations. To complicate matters more, my two teenage kids needed to pack and board a plane by themselves in order to meet us in Park City. Knowing the two would have all they could do to get to the resort without any hiccups, I went searching for a luggage solution. Suddenly, Luggage Forward entered my travel plans and made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
The Boston-based company provides door-to-door luggage delivery service. The process seemed surreal as I packed my family’s ski belongings, set the bags on the front doorstep Monday morning, and arrived in Park City on Thursday to find all of our bags delivered safe and sound. My husband and I made the rounds of the Consumer Electronics Show without worrying about expensive gear sitting in our hotel room, while our kids bypassed luggage lines at the airport making their first independent flight a complete success.
Landing at our destination without having to head toward baggage claim truly made all the difference in the way I viewed our travel experience. Feeling a bit like celebrities, my family and I never missed an ounce of fun due to missing items, luggage delays, or the added hassle of being accompanied by massive suitcases and ski equipment. As an initial trial run with Luggage Forward, I booked the service for one way instead of round trip – a decision I quickly regretted as my family’s additional departing luggage expenses totaled $240! This experience emphasized the tangible convenience and affordability that make this service worthwhile.
Overall, Luggage Forward exceeded my expectations while making the entire vacation more enjoyable for all. Without the added stress of baggage logistics, I relaxed and enjoyed the vacation every step of the way.
