Luggage Forwarding Services Can Help You Travel Light

May 8, 2009 · Filed Under Air Travel, Travel Information, Travel Tips, bus travel, train travel · Comment 

If you want to save time and money when traveling by air or train or bus, there is a solution.  Travel only with carry-on luggage!  No more lost luggage.  No baggage fees.  No check-in hassles or dragging your luggage onto the train, subway, bus, or taxi.  Think of it.  No more wasting time at the airport baggage claim area once you’ve reached your destination, hoping that all your luggage shows up. 

Save time and money, and avoid lost baggage, by using only carry-on luggage.  Ship additional items to your hotel via FedEx, UPS, USPS, or a luggage forwarding service such as luggagefree.com, globalbaggage.com, luggageconcierge.com, and luggageforward.com.

File Air Travel Complaints HERE

January 19, 2009 · Filed Under Air Travel, Safe Travel, United States · Comment 

If you are having a problem with a refund, lost or damaged luggage, have been treated disrespectfully based on your disability, race, or religion (or any other reason), or have any type of air travel complaint, “who ya gonna call?!”

Well; first you call the airline. Give them at least one chance to make things right, and document all contact with the airline (who you talked to and when, and what was said). Make sure you are talking to a supervisor or someone with the authority to help you.

But if you feel you’ve been treated unfairly for any reason and the airline doesn’t respond favorably, then it’s time to contact the Aviation Consumer Protection Division of the Department of Transportation (DOT). You can also contact them about airline safety concerns or aviation security concerns. Consumer complaint forms are available online.

For more information . . .

Website - http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/problems.htm

Write - Aviation Consumer Protection Division, C-75; U.S. Department of Transportation; 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE; Washington, DC 20590.

Call - You can call 24 hours a day at 202-366-2220 (TTY 202-366-0511) to record your complaint. Calls are returned Monday-Friday, 7:30-5:00 eastern standard time.
