Joined by Congressman John Mica as well as prominent members of the local community and media, Harris Rosen, President of Rosen Hotels and Resorts, is pleased to announce a partnership with BAGS Inc. (Baggage Airline Guest Services) and ARINC Inc., a world leader in transportation communications and systems engineering, that will help to improve passenger processing at U.S. airports by use of a revolutionary new check-in system. Advantages for Rosen Centre Hotel guests include increased convenience and comfort, reduced traffic to the airport and a more secure method of air travel.

“Not only is BAGS operating the first secure off site multi-airline check-in to be approved by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, The Rosen Centre Hotel is the first hotel in the country to use this system.” said Rosen. “This is going to be a outstanding convenience for Rosen Hotels and Resorts’ guests, passengers with late departures and early hotel check-out times will no longer need to “schlep” their bags from one destination to the next.”

BAGS works by allowing travelers to obtain their boarding passes and check their bags at The Rosen Centre Hotel for nominal fee. The bags are then transferred to a secure vehicle and routed to the airport. Once the bags arrive at the airport, they are scanned by TSA. Baggage can be checked as early as 12 hours and as late as two hours before the departure time.

"We’re pleased that American, Continental, Delta have enrolled in today’s launch of the BAGS service,” said Craig Mateer, President of BAGS Inc. “Additional carriers are expected to join soon.”

The award-winning Rosen Centre Hotel is adjacent to the nation’s second largest convention center. The 1,334-room, upscale hotel offers: 106,000 square feet of sophisticated meeting space including a 35,000 square-foot Grand Ballroom and 33 distinctive meeting rooms; seven restaurants and lounges; a fitness center and full-service spa; lighted tennis courts and large swimming pool.
