We are seeing a trend with both Airlines and Cruise lines developing new programs and services for the customer. With the latest service coming from American Airlines we are hesitant to think it will catch on.

Starting this week, American Airlines will provide travelers with the option of having their baggage delivered straight to their hotel, home, or other destination.

Of course, this service will come with an extra fee to the tune of $30. You can book this service up to two hours before your flight and American Airlines promises the baggage will be delivered in 4 to 6 hours.

This service will be available at 200 U.S. airports and a selection of International destinations.
