What to do when you have excess baggage?
Getting around the world with your sports gear or any other excess baggage can be exhausting. Especially while trying to do a last-minute shopping in crowded narrow streets. Or getting your check-in done at the rush hour in the airport. Looking for an easy way to get bulky baggage from your home to the airport? And from the airport to the hotel in a foreign country? What if your destination is in a different city from your point of air travel?
It is possible to travel the world light-weight and stress-free. Take advantage of a “Hands-Free Travel” service.
To kick off in Europe, we started with Estonian airline Nordica.ee. It covers 22 regular and seasonal routes inside Europe and is very innovative. We placed a direct link to Shipitwise.com platform to Nordica.ee services section in late 2016. Nordica.ee customers got an access to a “Hands-Free-Travel” service. You can now send your large bags, skis, snowboards, bicycles, golf, surf and other sports gear. Service works from your doorstep to the end destination and back with ease.
Weeks later several largest Estonian agencies joined and became Shipitwise.com affiliates. They saw a true potential and the real value in this of service. Agencies can provide a simple and affordable way for the groups of international travellers. People can send their excess luggage in advance. We deliver to your home, to the hotels, sports camps, golf courses, trade fairs or concert spots. Today many largest travel agencies in Baltics offers “Hands-Free Travel” service. And now the largest airline in the region AirBaltic joins the “Hands-free-Travel” revolution.
So what to do when you find out that you will need to have your stuff with you on the trip? And realize that it’s exceeding the limits of an airline?
