Alaska Airlines says it\u2019s becoming the first US-based airline<\/a> to roll out support for electronic bag tags, small programmable devices with e-paper displays that are designed to replace the paper tags currently in use. It plans to launch the new program in phases, and it\u2019ll initially be focused on San Jose airport in California. The airline will initially give out 2,500 of the tags for free to its frequent flyers from the airport in late 2022, TechCrunch <\/em>reports<\/a>, and they\u2019ll be available to purchase by Mileage Plan members next year.<\/p>\n

Alaska Airlines intends for the tags to cut down on the amount of time its customers spend on flight admin at the airport. Rather than having to print a luggage tag in person, they can instead set up the electronic bag tag at home while checking in on the mobile app. Then, when customers arrive at San Jose airport, they can use a self-service bag drop without having to print out a fresh tag. In total, Alaska Airlines hopes that customers could cut the amount of time spent checking luggage at the airport by up to 40 percent.<\/p>\n
