Aloha Rob,+Jeff. So now the baggage check in people and baggage people at the departure area are going to lose their jobs? I wonder what will be next.This technology is getting too fast and far ahead of me as I get older. I can see the ease of it in many ways. What is your opinion since you two travel so much? Thanks again for your interesting news.
Thanks for your interesting views as well. 🙂 We don’t have any point of view. It is an interesting technology, and tech is something we both like. Will it displace employees – not sure it will? But clearly, it will get rid of a lot of paper bag tags and maybe have more use. Not sure. We will try them as we both have a number of AS flights upcoming late this year and next.
I think its a great idea, to make check-in quicker. But I couldn’t see information about how they know the weight of luggage surely they aren’t relying of passenger 🤔
Good in theory. Just ordered 4 Apple tags for $90 at Amazon. Will locate my bags throughout the world on my phone. Can’t believe airlines will absorb the cost of these bagtags:) Read story where airline said guys skis were in the terminal. The Apple tag located the skiis on the tarmac..airline forgot to deliver to the terminal:)
Will these prevent your luggage from being stolen off of the carousel, or elsewhere?
