SendMyBag was originally launched to help students move all their gear back and forth between University and Northern Ireland. These days we run routes to and from more than 50 countries every month, but as a new term dawns and thousands of students prepare to head to Uni lets review how Sendmybag stacks up against the airlines on the route were it all started…
We know students and we know you like to move with a lot of stuff, so the following is based on 1 item up to 30kgs, from Northern Ireland to a popular university city in September 2013!
Easy Jet (Belfast International - Edinburgh) £73 for 29kgs.
Ryanair (Derry City - Liverpool) £35 for 20kgs.
Flybe (Belfast City - Manchester) £19.98 for 23kgs
As you can see only Easy Jet allows you to book close to 30kgs in one item online, and it’s a bit pricey! Ryanair don’t allow more than 20kgs, if you’re over it’ll be £20 / 20kg. Flybe do also give you the option of sending two 20kgs items for £44.99.
SendMyBag (Your Door in Northern Ireland - Your Door in GB) £18 for 30kgs.
So it looks like we still win, you can send 30kgs from home to halls in just 48hrs for only £18, so skip check in, forget hauling bags and travel the easy way.
If you need to send more, no problem, we’ll even give you a discount if you send three or more bags!
If your heading to Uni within GB Sendmybag has a service for you too, £15.89 for 30kgs door to door in 2 days.
