First Luggage is the ultimate travel accessory, allowing you to travel hands-free and without the worry of lost luggage or excess baggage charges.

First Luggage exudes super star appeal with support from X Factor Judge and pop star Dannii Minogue who says: �As someone who spends much of the year travelling, the last thing I need is the stress of worrying that I'll be touching down in Sydney whilst my case is making a beeline for Buenos Aires. That's why I love sending my cases ahead with First Luggage�.

The service also has a number of celebrity ambassadors including media personality Piers Morgan who recommends First Luggage as it is �fast, efficient, and incredibly reliable� and �does what its name suggests - it gets your luggage to your destination first�; Morgan is joined by the ever glamorous Joan Collins, travel favourite Alan Whicker and socialite and journalist Normandie Keith.
