Sending Luggage ahead.

I wrote in a recent newsletter about sending your suitcase and luggage ahead to avoid the huge charges airlines are imposing, plus you also avoid lugging baggage around terminal, unpacking for customs and possibly losing it on the carousels.

There are many companies offering this service – the big guys like FedEx and UPS, but other specialist firms are possibly more competitive, it is worth looking at alternatives and shopping around.

There are also a number of websites and travel companies who have posted information about this – here are some links
