Loews Extends "Baggage Buyback" Promotion For Guests

September 16, 2008 at 9:15 AM | 0 Comments

We're tired of paying all sorts of fees for checking our bags and Loews Hotels feels our pain. They'll continue to reimburse guests for their $15 checked baggage for up to two bags for a maximum of $30 per occupied room per stay.

Just present any airline bag fee receipt at the front desk to receive the rebate, which will be issued in the form of a credit to their bill at check-out.

Loews has extended this promotion - which they began when American Airlines started this nonsense and began charging passengers for checked baggage this spring - until November 30. That means you can still go on your out-of-town post-Thanksgiving shopping spree (the Loews Regency Hotel New York comes to mind as an option! ) and not fret about your baggage.

We just wish someone would offer a promotion that would stop those passengers who always seem to be in line ahead of us from frantically playing swap-that-luggage at the ticket desk. You know the ones - they are over the limit in one suitcase but not another so they most impolitely unpack and repack, cramming their unmentionables this way and that to try and even up the load.

Since there seems to be no end to that in sight, we'll take our $30 from Loews thank you, and practice our Zen calm at the ticket counter.
