TRAVEL NEWS | Do you qualify for free baggage delivery between United and Marriott?
Effective Nov 1, 2019 United Airlines and Marriott International have a joint venture on new complimentary baggage delivery service for high margin travelers. These business class travelers who fly on United Airlines exclusively on the route of New York/Newark and London Heathrow, and are staying at select Marriott Hotels (JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, London Marriott Hotel Canary Wharf, London Marriott Hotel County Hall, Sheraton Grand London Park Lane and St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London.), can take advantage of complimentary baggage delivery.
"The flight between New York/Newark and London is one of the most serviced routes in the world, and we are continually looking at how we can offer superior services and amenities for our customers traveling between these two major cities,” said Andrew Nocella, United’s chief commercial officer. "And as our customers continue to demand greater convenience and choices, we will be ready to deliver, offering the caring, creative solutions that will keep them choosing United.”
Travelers will not need to pre-register for the service. Additionally, passengers who are also members of Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott’s loyalty program, and have booked their hotel stay directly with Marriott will receive a notification on the Marriott Bonvoy app that their bags have arrived at their hotel.
Heathrow Airport
“United’s new baggage delivery benefit on New York/Newark-to-London flights coincides with the introduction of its newly reconfigured Boeing 767-300ER operating on the route, which features sixteen additional United Polaris business-class seats, all with direct aisle access. The aircraft, therefore, boasts a total of 46 premium-cabin seats, making United the only U.S. carrier to operate a widebody airplane with this much premium seating capacity.”
