Read MoreUAL to offer FedEx bag service
United Airlines (UAL) plans to launch a next-day luggage service designed to raise fresh revenue while giving passengers a more reliable way to ship stuff without schlepping it through an airport.
The UAL is teaming with FedEx Corp. The two will offer in the continental U.S. door-to-door, overnight delivery of suitcases, golf clubs and other items the airline normally would transport in the bellies of its jetliners.
FedEx will move the goods — while United handles customer service — for USD 149 one-way for a suitcase or other item of up to 50 pounds carried less than 1,000 miles. It’ll cost USD179 for the same piece transported more than 1,000 miles. Delivery by 4:30 p.m. the next day is guaranteed.
FedEx confirmed it is United’s vendor but declined to elaborate. FedEx already moves items by ground and air for individual travelers who arrange their own transportation and, along with its rivals, works with a growing number of luggage services that have sprung up to help customers bypass airline baggage channels.
