Bag-free travel now at Gatwick
LONDON Gatwick airport has implemented the AirPortr
luggage transfer, meaning passengers now have same-day,
on-demand luggage services that provide bag-free travel to
and from their workplace or holiday destination within London,
Gatwick and the surrounding and connecting London corridor.
AirPortr’s team of concierges and drivers collect and deliver
passengers’ baggage between their location and the airport
within hours and at a convenient time. Passengers can offload
their bags with the AirPortr team when they land, and travel
straight to their destination, thus avoiding carrying luggage
around with them all day.
