First Luggage Offers Virgin Atlantic A Luggage-Free Solution
UNITED KINGDOM, June 9, 2005. Innovative travel service, First Luggage, today announces a partnership with Virgin Atlantic. First Luggage enables holidaymakers to send their luggage separately, cost-effectively and with complete confidence anywhere within the UK, USA, Caribbean and Dubai.
Charles Keisner, Sales & Marketing Director at First Luggage, said "It is fantastic to be recognised with a partnership as high profile as this. Travelling without baggage is fast becoming the accepted norm with UK holiday and business travellers, much as it has been in the States for the past four or five years. This is a milestone in our progression towards a luggage-free nation and putting a stop to the 20 million suitcases lost each year!"
The Virgin website now encourages all its frequent flyers to use the First Luggage service (www.virgin.com) and is offering all customers an introductory rate on the service from June through until the end of August.
