The UK’s leading
Baggage Service Operator
Introduction
Excess Baggage Company provides a dedicated modular business, managing baggage services and retailing baggage
products within the premises of clients that are required to supply such facilities to customers en masse.
Clients such as Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester airports, BA and Virgin airlines, Network Rail’s major stations and
the stations of Southern Rail already benefit from the sometimes substantial cost savings, profitable new income
streams and improved customer relations they have achieved as a result of their partnership with Excess Baggage
Company.
As industry leaders in the UK and abroad, Excess Baggage Company offers clients a new approach to the likes of
baggage shipping, lost and found, secure cloakroom and left luggage facilities, and bag wrapping – matters that are
important to the peace of mind of their customers.
By taking on some or all of these and other related costly or loss-making services, we enable our clients to reduce ex-
penses, increase efficiencies and focus on more important facets of their business. The time and cost savings relating
to staffing, administration and management of these services can be impressive, as are the opportunities for clients to
profit from new revenue generators such as branded bag wrap, the auctioning of unclaimed property and, above all,
repeat custom resulting from improved customer relations.
Competition for custom and the financial rewards of loyalty make high quality services and products a prerequisite to
the success of our clients’ organisations. This is why they have placed their trust in Excess Baggage Company to ensure
that the multitude of baggage services their customers expect to find are all offered under one roof and at the high-
est standards.

unique income-generating opportunities for our clients. On top of this, if you’re looking for your customers to have
access to the widest possible range of services from a single, convenient location, manned by staff trained to offer the
best in customer care, then any or all of the following services many well be of interest to you.
5. Baggage Shipping
As one of the world’s leading baggage shipping companies,
delivering to destinations across the globe in over 300 countries and
territories, we offer a genuine alternative to the ever-increasing excess
baggage charges made by airlines. We can conveniently and securely
forward shopping, gifts or luggage to almost anywhere in the world, and
have the infrastructure and technology to handle any volume shipped by
air, land or sea. In addition, these items can be tracked en route to give
your customers complete peace of mind.
Online Luggage Shipping
With over a quarter of a century of international baggage shipping experience behind us, you’ll find that we offer a
polished and professional online luggage shipping service to and from anywhere on the globe. The advantages of this
service are as follows: firstly, you’ll be helping your customers to more quickly and cost effectively ship their luggage to
its destination; secondly, free from baggage, your customers can spend more time and money in your retail outlets; and,
thirdly, we can even white-label the service while handling all operational aspects and pay you a commission on every
sale.
Confiscated Items / Post and Fly
Items may be confiscated from customers for any number of reasons and, while it can be a logistical nightmare for some
clients to arrange for the eventual repatriation of these items, we know this is an essential part of the day-to-day running
of any transportation hub or venue. As experts in parcel and baggage shipping, left luggage and lost property services,
Excess Baggage Company has the infrastructure to take on such a task with ease, via our simple, easy-to-use website.
In our highly efficient handling of such matters, the passenger will receive a reference code for their confiscated item
and, after they have paid a nominal fee, their property will be forwarded to wherever it needs to go. Those items not
reclaimed in the specified period are sold at auction; this is another service we provide to our clients to save them both
time and space.

7. Over the Counter Travel Goods Retail
From our state-of-the-art outlets we offer a wide range of mid-market, premium and deluxe branded travel goods.
Our retail units can be installed as standalone shops or combined with any of our other services, depending on your
requirements and those of your customers. Designed to suit both airside and landside environments and furnished with
strong POS branding, our outlets offer an excellent, highly visible platform for the many other facilities mentioned in this
brochure, which are aimed at offering our clients significant cost savings and revenue-generating opportunities.
Online Travel Goods Retail
Naturally, the retail and travel goods services we offer have their online equivalents. Although passing trade results in a
good deal of our travel goods sales, it is important that customers have the ability to browse and buy our product range
remotely too. Our Luggage Express website has an exceptional online presence, being #1 on Google for numerous
search terms and, once again, we give our clients the option to white-label this offering to broaden their own branding.
The ability to purchase travel goods online is a natural addition for any passenger terminal website and, whilst we will
of course handle the operational side of this online retail facility, in these circumstances we would pay you an agreed
commission on every sale.

hotels G mobile phones G flights
Airport Concierge provides Hotel Reservations and ancillary services including Bus & Train Tickets, Taxi & Limousine Transfers, Car
Hire, Lounge Access, National & International Tours, Coach & Bus Tours, Sports & Event Tickets, Theatre Tickets, as well as ‘Rent-
a-Phone’ Mobile Phone & Wifi Devices and Inbound and Outbound SIM Card sales. Other services including In-Terminal Office
Services, Flights, and Interflora, as well as Dry Cleaning.
The philosophy is to provide a one stop shop for all of the above services drawing on a wide range of suppliers, with live travel
and hotel booking, and access to a variety of supplier systems. We believe that airports and rail stations already see the benefits
of consolidating what is often a significant list of suppliers into one lo ation, with attendant gains from reduced operational and
c
management costs. Terminals also benefit from the release of what is often a significant amount of potential retail space, thereby
assisting the terminal’s space management policies, and at the same time increasing revenues per square metre across the retail
footprint.
Airport Concierge is also backed up by a comprehensive website offering many of our travel related services online. Airport Con-
cierge is also able provide general Airport and Tourist Information Services to Terminal operators, offering a cost-effective integrat-
ed alternative to Airport and Rail Station Operators own in-house services.
