LuggageArbitrage: Luggage Price Comparison & Booking Agent Service

A white-glove booking service where travelers submit their flight details and luggage needs, and a human agent books their ticket + luggage across all available channels (airline website, booking aggregators, third-party luggage sellers) to find the cheapest combination. The agent handles all the research, purchases, and consolidates confirmations into one email. Travelers pay a flat fee per booking; the service keeps any savings above that fee as margin.

Original Problem

Travelers overpay for luggage by not knowing the optimal booking timing and price differences across purchase channels

Budget airline passengers face hidden pricing traps where luggage costs vary dramatically depending on whether they buy at booking, pre-flight, or at the airport—often paying 2-3x more for the same service. Travelers lack transparent pricing comparison tools and clear guidance on when to purchase, forcing them to either overpay or spend time researching obscure airline policies. Current airline websites bury this information intentionally to maximize ancillary revenue.
