TravelAdHubยฎ, the smart advertising and savings platform built around business travelers, today announced TravelAdHubยฎ BagsCoveredโข, a new service designed to help flyers stop eating 100% of airline baggage fees and start turning them into savings, perks, and rewards. In 2024, U.S. airlines collected a record $7.27 billion in checked baggage fees, underscoring how quickly these charges have become a major cost for travelers and a lucrative revenue stream for carriers.
With BagsCoveredโข, business travelers no longer have to accept checked bag fees as a painful, unavoidable cost of doing business. The new service uses trip data and card/expense feeds to detect when a traveler pays a baggage fee and then instantly looks for ways to offset, reduce, or recover that costโwithout asking the traveler to fight with the airline.
โBaggage fees have become a silent tax on business travel,โ said the founder of TravelAdHubยฎ, Charles White. โBagsCoveredโข changes the game. Instead of shrugging and paying, travelers get smart options to claw back valueโcredits, cashback, perks, and better card or status choicesโso they never feel like theyโre paying full price again.โ
How TravelAdHubยฎ BagsCoveredโข Works
BagsCoveredโข plugs into the travelerโs journey โbehind the scenesโ using existing trip and payment tools. When a checked bag fee appears, BagsCoveredโข:
- Detects the baggage fee Via flight itinerary (PNR), corporate expense tools, or card transaction data.
- Surfaces instant savings options Examples include:
โ Credits or cashback on future trips
โ Lounge or dining vouchers at the airport
โ TravelAdHubยฎ-powered baggage credits via partner memberships
- Helps travelers avoid future bag fees BagsCoveredโข highlights credit cards with free checked bags, status fast-tracks, and corporate-negotiated perks, so frequent flyers can systematically reduce or eliminate baggage charges over time.
Behind the scenes, TravelAdHubยฎ uses its partner network and intelligent savings engine to unlock credits, perks, and reimbursements, ensuring travelers get meaningful relief on baggage costs without TravelAdHubยฎ simply absorbing the fee.
