Why is it that the more complicated and risky airline travel gets, the more you want to fly away somewhere?

Must be that dashing sense of adventure. It’s certainly not your love of schlepping bags through Heathrow.

Luggagefree can make that scenario a toil of the past. A few days before you leave have your luggage — or, say, your golf clubs, stroller, surfboard, portfolio, or whatever bulky item you simply can’t leave home without — picked up and delivered to your destination. It’s all there when you arrive. Without you’re having had to juggle 90 things into a foreign taxi. Return service? No problemo.

Fully insured and available 24/7/365, Luggagefree delivers nationwide, to Canada, and to most of Western Europe (customs is handled for you). Prices range from $2 to $5 per pound, depending where you’re going. Shipping golf clubs to Pebble Beach will set you back about $100. So pack light, you freak.

There may be a catch somewhere, but we can’t find it. Must have lost it in the cocktail lounge at terminal eight.
