How Do You Get a Giraffe into a Canoe?

A free website can help holiday travellers answer their most pressing questions.

Litchfield, CT “How big is a canoe? Can I fit it in my hand luggage?”

Not a strange question to Luke Dudley, founder of LuggageLimits.com. In fact, there isn’t a luggage-related query that Dudley hasn’t heard or is hard-pressed to answer. However, travellers don’t need the Connecticut Algebra teacher close by when booking a flight, as the revolutionary free travel tool he designed provides answers to virtually any luggage question.

There are few things in life that are free and rarely does a tool so useful come without charge or a hidden catch, but that’s exactly what ‘Luggage Limits’ provides; a no cost travel implement that is breaking the mould for those weary of being a target for every increase from swelling fuel prices to hidden taxes.

Dudley, a seasoned globe trotter who relocated from leafy suburbs of England to Connecticut’s northwest corner with many stops along the way, recalls some of the luggage horrors he had.

“The changing scenery was beautiful and I loved waking up in a new country but the luggage was a different story,” he said. “When you relocate as much as I have, you soon look at your possessions in a new light, and I can’t remember how many times I’ve had to leave a bike or bulky items at the airport for kind friends to collect and forward to me.”

However, it was the students’ luggage at the boarding school where he teaches that highlighted a gap in the industry. The kids regularly needed to fly with sports or music equipment or just had lots of heavy bags and would often incur a fortune in baggage charges and the stress of last minute unpacking at the flight counter. He knew there was a better way.

This summer, the travel world watched with interest as he brought a truly innovative concept to reality. ‘Luggage Limits’ has made a fast track into the major players of travel with acknowledgments from Lonely Planet (the World’s largest travel guide book publisher) and it’s easy to see why. With no membership required, no fees and no hidden catch, ‘Luggage Limits’ offers essential travel information at your fingertips without having to wade through pages and pages of airline regulations.

‘Luggage Limits’ recently reached the milestone of featuring baggage information for 100 Airlines and is proving to be as essential to travellers as their toothbrush. With hundreds of web visitors each day, it is clear more and more people recognize that the start of every journey should begin with a trip to LuggageLimits.com.

Yet, the site is constantly evolving.

“As visitors to the site can attest, it continually adds information and includes more and more airlines,” said Dudley. “With the goal of having luggage details for every airline, it’s rapidly becoming a ‘one stop shop’ for all flight luggage information.”

So, do you know how to get a giraffe into a canoe? There is a website that knows.

Know your limits!
