We know how hard it is to pack for a trip, especially with the new bag fees. Decisions about which shoes to bring and which to leave behind, make packing perhaps the hardest part of taking a vacation, not to mention costly now that American Airlines United has raised their second bag fee to $50.

The Ritz-Carlton Chicago totally has our back--or rather, our pack. Their new "Stay As Long As You Like" service will store your luggage for you while you're away from this home away from home.

Don’t want to pay the airline luggage fees? Leave your bags behind and Ritz-Carlton Chicago special services manager Jennifer McVicker will store them for your return. She’s secured complete executive wardrobes, golf clubs, children’s toys and a Christmas tree for a woman who celebrates the holiday at the hotel each year.

In addition to free storage, the hotel will also wash all your clothes and unpack them in your room prior to your arrival. Oh, and if you suddenly realize you left your favorite shirt in the Ritz's basement they'll ship it to you. They don't call it the Ritz for nothing.

We're not sure how much this service is gonna cost you, but we assume if you're already staying on a regular basis, then you can probably afford it.

    also, it's United that's implemented a $50 second checked bag fee... not American
