Hong Kong Home Baggage Check-in and Delivery Service At Home & Hotel!
Travel is fun, but one of the most painful things of travel is to bring your heavy luggage all the way to the airport, queueing-up at check-in counter and board.
Airlines in Hong Kong will provide a service called home baggage check-in. That means at your home or hotel a representative will come to you, collects, tags and takes away your luggage. Several companies offering a similar service also launched in the UK and Delhi in India, but these have stopped since Covid.
How does it work?
You schedule baggage pick up appointment in advance, an agent will arrive at your hotel generally between 5 to 24 hours before your flight, you book a time that suits you. All travelling passengers and their luggage must be present.
Your bags will be taken away by the agent, kept safe in a secure location before they’re loaded on the flight. The airline will usually keep you posted with updates over text, letting you know exactly where your bags are. You will be hassle-free then collect your baggage in Baggage Reclaim Hall at airport of destination!
