bagSOLO, a brand new service that offers skiers and snowboarders a door to door service for their luggage, has launched for the 2016-17 winter season.

The service offers the ultimate in convenience as well as an alternative way to transport ski and snowboard equipment, rather than paying for the excess charges that most airlines levy.

Customers will simply arrange a collection of their equipment that will be delivered pre-arrival to their destination, allowing for hassle free travel to a ski resort anywhere in the world.

Prices start at £99.00 for a round trip to ski resorts in the Alps.

The service is also available to skiers and snowboarders heading further afield to destinations such as Japan or North America, where travellers often arrange stop overs to other destinations before arriving at a ski resort. This means that customers of bagSOLO don't have the burden of carrying their equipment unnecessarily before they need it – when they arrive at their hotel or chalet, the skis or snowboards will be waiting there for them.

Booking the service involves a simple four step process through the new website, bagSOLO.com and can be done up to two days before arrival date in resort, if booking their Express service.

Managing Director Mike Coyne comments: “We know there's skiers and snowboarders out there who want to take their own equipment away with them, but are frustrated with airline charges and the inconvenience of having to squeeze their luggage into cars, carry it through airports and have it squashed against them in transfer vehicles. bagSOLO totally disrupts that model and provides another way, a better way. Our greatest challenge is to change customer behaviour to use our service as opposed to their current options, which we plan to do through our industry wide advertising campaign.

We are already seeing travel companies, tour operators and Chalet / private hotel operators, who understand the benefits for them and their customers and several have already partnered with us to provide or recommend the service”.
