Unaccompanied baggage?
Google has not been my friend here!
Doing a MR in the last few days of a US trip later this year.. and would love to be able to hand my suitcase over to an airline in ABQ - head off for a few days Hand-luggage-only travelling.. then pick up the case at LAX and proceed to check in for the trip home..
Before 9/11 I could have just sent the case all the way home.. but that is no longer an option....
Is what I want to do even possible?

not sure how plausible my idea is, i'm sure it'll be picked apart, but i hope its a good start.

(maybe google is back to being your friend again?)
For domestic US shipping (e.g. ABQ to LAX) you would have to use UPS or Fedex, and a hotel or agent as recipient, or pay UPS to hold for pickup. Possible but not cheap or easy (but a lot cheaper than QF or NZ).

Ah well.... one can HOPE for a simple way to do things... but I must admit I wasn't very confident.. so I've come up with something ELSE that will work.... through the kindness of friends!
Thanks for the advice....
