Frequent Traveller #39: The Future of Baggage tags is here, now!

Luggage Tags are important for Airports to deliver your luggage

Everybody knows Luggage tags which are printed and than attached to your suitcase. While the system is working since decades it is a waste of paper and resources. Remember there are over 100000 commercial flights per day in the world. Even if only every 10th passenger checked luggage that would amount to a huge amount of printed luggage tags. 

First company to tackle the problem was Rimowa

Rimowa attached an e-ink color display into their new Suitcases and you can upload your tag from your Phone (currently working for Lufthansa and soon EVA Air) While the Idea is genius everybody needs to buy a new Suitcase which won't happen. 

bagID just introduced a new form of Luggage Tags

I like the bagID System better, as every suitecase in the world can use it

While the Rimowa System is the best integration and you don't have the risk that it gets lost. The bagID system is very nice for people not wanting to buy a new Rimowa Suitecase. Once you checkin online for your flight you will be able to push the luggage tag to the Rimowa or the bagID System. What a superb idea and I hope that in the future we can stop printing luggage tags. 

Which System do you like better???
