Maker’s Mark Wants To Take Care of Your Checked Bag Fees

Maker’s Mark is hoping to help travelers secure the bag this holiday season with the inaugural take-off of “Whisky Flights.”

The Kentucky-based whiskey brand is offering the chance to have Maker’s Mark cover the checked bag fees of those packing a bottle of bourbon to bring home. The program runs from today (December 15) through the end of the year. Travelers 21+ can go to whiskyflights.makersmark.com to upload an eligible checked-baggage receipt for the chance to have Maker’s Mark reimburse their checked-baggage fee, with up to $50,000 of fees covered by the brand during the promotion period.

“We know you can’t bring a bottle of Maker’s Mark Bourbon in your carry-on luggage, so we’re encouraging folks to check a bag on their next holiday-bound flight so they can bring a little spirit home to share. We’ll pick up that pesky fee for some lucky travelers,” said Rob Samuels, 8th Generation Whisky Maker and Grandson of the Founders at Maker’s Mark.

By taking care of these baggage fees, Maker’s Mark hopes to help fans come prepared with bourbon in tow, so they can focus on more important things this holiday — like safely and joyfully coming together with family and friends after months apart.
