Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) has launched a remote bag drop service to enhance the customer experience while also lessening check-in area volumes, departure curb traffic and the overall amount of luggage on airport shuttles and inside the terminals.
Travelers will be able to check their bags at the Airport Rent-A-Car center and Terminal 3 Departures area, and print their boarding pass as part of this amenity.
“As passenger volumes continue to grow, we are constantly seeking new ways to make the travel experience less stressful for customers while also reducing congestion at key points of the airport’s operations,” said Ralph LePore, senior director for the Clark County Department of Aviation, which operates LAS. “This remote bag drop service will provide increased flexibility for our passengers, and we are thrilled to have it in time to welcome fans arriving for Super Bowl LVIII.”
Remote bag drop will be available for only the following domestic airlines; and must be dropped off at least 90 minutes before the flights departure time: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines. The use of this service is currently complimentary and any cost associated with checked bags, as applied by the airlines, is still applicable.
The Clark County Board of Commissioners approved the multi-year contract with BAGS Inc., which operates similar programs in Denver, Tampa, New Orleans, Orlando and Boston. The contract also allows LAS the option to operate additional pop-up locations during high-volume weekends.
