It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s your fully packed suitcase arriving at your destination before you do.
Our favorite new service, FlyLite, a company that packs, delivers, picks up, and even dry cleans your stuff so you don’t have to. Billing themselves as a remote wardrobe manager for frequent flyers, it’s like FreshDirect for travel.
Here’s how it works: You sign up online, then FlyLite sends you a suitcase to fill with any items you usually travel with (jeans, shampoo, golf clubs). They clean, catalog, and store everything (in a virtual closet that you can arrange to your liking). Before your next trip, just select what you want online, and let FlyLite know where and when you’ll need it. Your stuff will be there when you arrive.
The downside: So far the service is available only in the United States.
But nothing beats flying luggage free.
