Excess Baggage Bother

Are you a seasoned traveller? Oh good. Hello. In which case, you may have heard the news that British Airways is abandoning free baggage allowances on certain European routes. If you check in a bag, you’re going to have to cough up.

This is part of British Airways’ stealth campaign to convince us that travelling light is better for everyone. It’s better for us because it’s cheaper and it’s better for them because it means shorter queues and less time spent in the loading bay. From September 24th, if you only have hand luggage for a number of key domestic and European destinations, you will be rewarded with a £10 discount. The destinations are Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Barcelona.

Of course, it’s not only BA who have introduced little caveats to encourage light travel. EasyJet and Ryanair have long had extra baggage charges in place leading some travel critics to accuse BA of transforming itself into just another low-cost carrier.

There’s no denying a trend is growing among airlines to deter passengers with excess baggage because to them, excess baggage means excess bother. This is where Seven Seas Worldwide comes in.

We’ve been shipping internationally for nearly twenty years and know a thing or two about sending excess baggage all over the world. If the airlines don’t want it; we’ll take it. We can send your personal belongings door-to-door virtually anywhere in the world, so you don’t have to pay the extra charges at the airport.
