Irv's Luggage New Carry-On Bag Finder Helps Traveler's Save Money on Checked Luggage Fees. (PRWEB) January 15, 2010 -- Irv's Luggage has launched a new Carry-On Bag Finder (http://www.irvsluggage.com/carryon-finder.asp) to assist travelers in finding and purchasing the carry-on bag that best meets their needs and matches specific airline requirements. Many frequent flyers have a favorite airline (notably affected by frequent flyer rewards) on which they do most of their traveling. Working within the limitations of the individual airlines' size restrictions, the Irv's Luggage Carry-On Bag Finder gives the consumer choices that will meet both the airlines regulations and their own personal preferences.
With the additional fees for checked luggage, more and more travelers are maximizing their use of carry-on baggage. Fees for checked bags often start at $50 and can soar to over $150 per bag. As a consequence, the use of carry-on luggage has increased dramatically over the last year. Yet, every airline has slightly different size criterion for what they will accept as carry-on luggage. The Irv's Luggage Carry-On Bag Finder compares the individual airlines' size requirements and then offers only the carry-on luggage that meets those requirements - adding the further step to recognize the customer's selected needs and wants.
Currently, Irv's Luggage offers more than 300 carry-on bags: wheeled upright suitcases (http://www.irvsluggage.com/search.asp?skw=CAT1&inches=45&Length=100), garment bags, hard side cases, totes and rolling duffels. Wading through the choices to find the perfect carry-on bag can be time consuming and frustrating. The new Irv's Luggage Carry-On Bag Finder narrows the choices, based upon airline size requirements and the consumer's own preferences. The difference for the customer is seismic. For example, if United Airlines is the preferred carrier, and the traveler wants to purchase a carry-on garment bag, the Irv's Luggage Carry-On Bag Finder offers 5 options. Or, if the most traveled airline is American Airlines and the traveler wants leather… the options offered are reduced from 300 to 16.
"Offering our customers the opportunity to find a carry-on bag for their needs and matching it to the airline's size restrictions makes perfect sense," said Renee Silverman, Director of eCommerce for Irv's Luggage. "With the increased fees for checked luggage, we've seen a significantly higher demand for carry-on luggage. Each airline has very strict guidelines. Consumers should not have to research what each specific airline's size requirements are. Working within the individual airline's restrictions, we try to make the online luggage shopping experience easier for the consumer. Our carry-on bag finder adds a new dimension to our site, that simply makes it an easier search and a more informed purchase," Silverman continues.
The new Irv's Luggage Carry-On Bag Finder is offered at no charge, and is simple to use. Making sense of the airline restrictions and offering customer preferences makes the shopping experience on Irv's Luggage far easier and more enjoyable for the Irv's Luggage customers.
