Ferries 'offer more peace of mind than planes' |  | | | 11 August 2008 | One of the major advantages of ferry travel over flying is the peace of mind that passengers have regarding their luggage, a major company has claimed.
According to a recent report by a major insurance company, around 200,000 bags are lost every month at UK airports.
Irish Ferries claimed that passing through airports often causes stress and anxiety for travellers – the opposite of what a holiday is supposed to do.
Head of passenger sales Declan Mescall said: "It's bad enough having to endure the long check-ins and queues, but then to spend further pointless hours waiting in vain at the carousel is guaranteed to drive stress levels off the scale."
He added: "Self-drive holidays by ferry are growing in popularity as holidaymakers take advantage of competitive pricing, short check-in times, space to relax and enjoy the journey, confident that their luggage will not disappear en route."
One of the most high-profile disasters for the aviation industry occurred earlier this year when the opening of Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport was dogged by technical problems, leading to thousands of people losing their luggage. |
