Alaska Airways was the primary U.S. provider to roll out digital baggage tags, which we not too long ago examined on travels to and from Hawaii in addition to from New York to California.
The provider’s new bag tags are made by an organization known as Bagtag, and Bagtag simply introduced which you can now use its digital luggage on Hawaiian Airways flights, too.
Whereas I did not discover them good, the $89 price ticket could possibly be definitely worth the funding for normal Alaska or Hawaiian flyers.
In complete, now you can use the bag tags for flights on Hawaiian Airways, Alaska Airways, SkyWest which are operated by Alaska, Oneworld associate Qatar Airways and Alaska associate Icelandair. You should purchase them on-line on the bagtag part of Alaska’s web site, and you may obtain them immediately within the mail. For a restricted time, you may as well order a two-pack utilizing the code “ALASKAPAIR” at checkout.
It is fairly simple to get them to work. After you examine in and add baggage within the Alaska app, discover the “Use digital bag” button.
Then, merely use your telephone to scan the tag. As soon as the 2 gadgets have an digital connection, a digital model of your baggage bar codes will present up on the display screen. I had a little bit of hassle getting the tag to attach just a few occasions, however it will definitely labored. I do not see the choice enabled on the Hawaiian app but, however I assume it is coming quickly.
