Advance Baggage UK launches counter at BIA

Since April 5, all passengers travelling abroad via Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) in Katunayake have been offered another valuable service to ease their journey.

The Uk-based company, Advance Baggage Service, has introduced a new excess baggage service counter, which was launched at the airport premises for the convenience of travellers.

Advance Baggage UK is the pioneer who successfully introduced and managed the excess baggage operation at BIA from 200 to 2012.

This is an excellent addition to the portfolio of other services under Advance Baggage, including travel accessories, baggage wrapping and Internet, telephone and printing facilities all available in the Departure Lobby at BIA. This newly relaunched excess baggage service offers the passengers several options if they find they have packed too many extra items and exceeded their check in allowance. Advanced Baggage can ship the excess baggage to over 300 destinations, door-to-door, sea freight, air freight or even local delivery, ensuring an easy transit through the airport.

In addition, Advanced Baggage also offers its customers the option of shipping the baggage beforehand. Instead of paying to drag luggage to the airport, then waiting in line to check the bag and wait at the baggage claim area, the air passengers now have the option to use Advance Baggage to ship the bags directly to the final destination, saving both time and money. If the passengers arrive at the airport and realize that they have a bag or two too many, then simply all they have to do is to pop over to the excess baggage counter and let the experts take care of it.

Handling passenger baggage is a specialized process but the staff at Advance Baggage are experts in the field, offering a simple, stress free, professional, customer-focused solution to the excess baggage. They offer 24/7 booking platform from any PC, Tablet or phone wherever passengers might travel – a real-time booking system where travellers can book and pay online at their convenience. Payments can also be made in the destination country once the passengers arrive home. An online track and trace system, with SITA connectivity, means the customers can follow the delivery of the baggage.
