ORLANDO,
Fla. (July 2004) — The Rosen Plaza Hotel has unveiled an innovative
off-site airport check-in service that it is offering called BAGS
Inc. (Baggage Airline Guest Services). Approved by the U.S. Transportation
Security Administration, BAGS allows guests to obtain their boarding
passes and check bags at the hotel for a small fee. Bags are transferred
to a secure vehicle, routed to the airport, and then scanned by TSA
representatives. The Rosen Plaza’s sister property, Rosen Centre,
was the first hotel in the United States to introduce the BAGS service
last year.
BAGS improves passenger processing at the airport, and serves as an
advantage to Rosen Plaza guests through increased convenience and
comfort, reduced traffic to the airport and a more secure method of
air travel. BAGS allows travelers to obtain their boarding passes,
baggage receipts and VIP carry-on privileges at the Rosen Plaza Hotel
for a $10 fee, per person (up to three bags). Baggage can be checked
as early as 12 hours and as late as two and a half hours before departure
time. Participating airlines include American, Delta, Continental
and Song.
“This is an outstanding convenience for our guests. Those with
late departures and early hotel check-out times will no longer need
to check their bags and transport them from one destination to the
next,” said Victoria Hall, Rosen Plaza’s Director of Sales
and Marketing.
The Rosen Plaza Hotel is a multi award-winning hotel in the heart
of the International Drive resort area. The 800-room hotel offers:
60,000 square feet of flexible meeting space including a 26,000 square
foot Grand Ballroom and 18 individual meeting rooms. Guests can take
advantage of 10 executive king suites, 16 hospitality suites and four
great restaurants including the award-winning Jack’s Place.
