If you’re still lugging your own bags from home to holiday destination then you’re so 2016. This year is the one that turns into a streamlined travel panther – sleek, elegant and unencumbered – by using a luggage delivery travel app such as AirPortr.

This natty app will arrange to pick up your bags from home and deliver to them the airport, or vice versa. And if you're flying BA, it can even arrange to check them in for you as well – the next time you’ll see them is on the carousel at your destination. Delivery plus check in starts from from £30 and you can live-track your bags as they go, leaving you with nothing else to do but waft through the journey clutching your passport and a pashmina, like the A-lister you are.

The truly wannabe jet set can go even further and choose door-to-door delivery of their bags with services such as Sendmybag.com and Carrymyluggage.com
