ResortQuest Offers Hundreds of Dollars in Savings for Airline Travelers Just For Leaving Skis and Snowboards at Home

Breckenridge, Colo. (PRWEB) November 6, 2008 -- If air travelers feel crushed under extra fees for checking baggage, just wait until they see the charges this winter when traveling with skis, snowboards and other equipment.

Winter travelers heading for the ski slopes can anticipate not only $15-$25 fees on regular luggage, but fees for oversized bags for ski equipment can cost between $125-$150 each way on major airlines. ResortQuest Ski & Sport Director of Operations Frank Ernst offers a simple solution; leave the skis and boards at home and rent in your destination. To make the offer even more enticing, ResortQuest is offering two-for-one rentals through December 25, 2008.

"Guests can reserve top-of-the-line equipment for as little at $32 per day," says Ernst. "When you add up the fees for a family of four travelling by air with skis, a three-day rental saves over $800," continues Ernst. ResortQuest also allows early season guests to combine the rentals with 20% off lodging in Keystone and Breckenridge, Colorado between opening day, November 7, 2008 and Christmas day.

ResortQuest is helping all travelers recoup some of those pesky checked-bag fees all winter, even if they don't bring ski equipment with them. With a four-night stay between October and April, ResortQuest will credit up to four guests on a reservation $25 for each guest. The offer also includes a 25% discount on lodging, so baggage fees coming and going are covered. ResortQuest offers a complete selection of Breckenridge vacation rentals (http://www.resortquest.com/vacation-rentals/colorado/breckenridge-vacation-rentals.htm) and Breckenridge lodging (http://www.resortquest.com/vacation-rentals/colorado/breckenridge-vacation-rentals.htm) packages. Guests can choose from deluxe hotel suites, 1-4 bedroom condominium and luxurious private homes in ski-in/ski-out or downtown locations.     

ResortQuest has extended significant savings for guests that still haven't decided about holiday travel. To make it easier to enjoy a longer holiday getaway, guests can stay four nights and get the fifth night free for the entire holiday season through January 3, 2009.
