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.

Powerful knozaki2015 dropping knowledge!
I've flown nearly 100,000 miles this year and you're SPOT ON son! What a bloody waste those luggage tags are (sadly shaking head).
If Delta steps up and incorporates these "Smart Tags" into their network I will absolutely do my part and order one.
Thanks ever so much for writing on this - brilliant idea; amazing these aren't already common place...
Maximum respect brother,
Craiggles

114,000 Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQM's) on Delta in 2016; with Platinum Status I get upgraded to 1st Class about 80% of the time.
BIS - does that stand for business class?
Love your posts man :D

true ;) well paper tags work great but imagine in the future if nobody needs anypaper tags anymore. it will work with rfid in the future so it will be faster and without error.
I expect future luggages to be more customizable. Imagine a suite case whichi is a whole display on the outside and you can change the design of your bag or if it comes near your phone it will show a picture so you know it is your bag.

Thank you. I've had it lost twice in my life (both direct flights) - once on the way to Corfu and once on the way to Amsterdam (not SteemFest). I always carry spare clothes in my hand luggage now!
