Protect Your Bags for Just $5.00 on Domestic & International Flights!

 Blue Ribbon Bags covers every flight you take - this includes all US Domestic Flights, and all International flights including code share partners and connections. It also includes domestic Canadian flights.  As the holiday season is upon us, a lot of people will be travelling with checked luggage with gifts inside. Many of them will be travelling with Ski gear, or golf gear, or fishing gear, or anything they might need to take on their vacation. 

Blue Ribbon Bags is the perfect opportunity to put your mind at ease and make sure you know that if the airline loses your bags, on the 5th day aft er their flight lands, they will have a check in their hand for a minimum of $1000.00 per bag regardless of how much their bag is worth. No proof of what was in your bag is required to receive payment. To cover your bags the service only costs $5.00 per person, per booking. 

There are higher levels of coverage available if you need a bit more. This service can be purchased up until the moment their flight takes off. So if you have tickets you already purchased, you can still cover those flights as long as their flight hasn't taken off yet. 

So let me know if you want some Blue Ribbon coverage!

Official Word on the USAIR/American Merger

American Airlines | US Airways
Dear Valued Travel Professional,
Today is an exciting day as American Airlines and US Airways legally close our merger and take the next step toward becoming the new American. This marks a significant milestone in the journey to integrate our two airlines, and our future as the new American is very bright. Customers will soon have access to more benefits and service across the combined company’s larger worldwide network and through a stronger oneworld® alliance, which US Airways will join on March 31, 2014.
Although we look forward to many positive changes in the coming months, each airline’s current focus is on delivering a safe and reliable travel experience over the busy holiday travel season. We will therefore continue to operate as separate carriers and not have any operational or other changes until early January. We will be in touch then to share exciting news and provide regularly scheduled communications about key milestones and future integration efforts as they apply to you and your colleagues.
American and US Airways' focus for a successful integration is guided by this simple principle: to put our customers at the center of everything we do. I assure you, both carriers are taking time to make thoughtful decisions.
At this time, corporate and agency contracts you have with either American or US Airways remain the same. We will share more details in the coming weeks and months as we work toward providing you with an enhanced combined network and contracts. Also, as I’ve mentioned before, we will provide you with a single point of contact in the U.S. market, representing both of our great airlines and removing the burden of coordination from you. We expect to share more details with you within a few weeks.
Although you have countless benefits to look forward to, which include a comprehensive network, modern and fuel-efficient aircraft and new product improvements, nothing can drive the success of a company like a dedicated team of professionals. I believe we have the best in the business to serve your travel needs. We strive every day to not only be your preferred carrier, but also the team with whom you truly enjoy conducting business. I want to thank you for your loyalty and support as we look forward to serving you as the new American.
Warm regards,
Derek DeCross
