Brexit red tape causing holiday luggage delays with suitcases held up by EU customs checks

Holidaymakers from the UK are being advised to shun baggage delivery services where luggage can be sent ahead to many popular sunshine destinations. The facility enables travellers to have bags transported in advance to most locations enabling passengers to avoid baggage check-in queues at airports.

It is especially useful for holidaymakers who may have excess baggage with delivery operators claiming their service is cheaper than extra charges imposed by low-cost airlines like Ryanair.

Many passengers choose budget airlines in a bid to save money, only to discover that they have to pay extra in order to bring anything other than a small item of hand luggage. Fees for a standard item of luggage delivered to many holiday destinations usually start at around £35.
