Luggage Caddy Is Latest Luxury

Flying to your snow resort condo or home with three kids, two friends and seven pairs of skis? Can't get everything in the SUV? Skis got lost last year? Issues like these have prompted a new niche -- luggage caddies. They pick up your stuff at home, deliver it to your slopeside door. Sports Express, based in Durango, CO was the first. Now, there are a half-dozen. Sure, it's pricey -- one ski bag collected three days ahead of time can cost $80 or more -- but “travelers are looking to make flying convenient again and hotels are seeking first-class amenities for guests. We cater to both needs in a simple, reliable fashion.” Zeke Adkins, Director of Marketing and Operations at Luggage Forward says.
