Smart Luggage

What is Considered Smart Luggage?

Smart luggage is any suitcase that has technology features that include GPS locators, USB charging ports, motorised wheels, electronic locks or built-in measuring scales. To put it simply, smart luggage is any luggage that has a battery in it to supply power. The USB charging port is a helpful feature when travelling, as it allows you to connect your power bank and charge your devices when there are no wall sockets available. With this feature, you won’t have to worry about your phone going flat. Built-in luggage scales are a practical feature that allows you to check the weight of your case before heading to the airport. This prevents you from going over the weight limit and having to pay a fee. Another common feature in smart luggage is GPS tracking, which allows you to keep track of where your luggage is with an app. This helps you to locate your luggage and prevent you from losing it. Proximity tracking is a similar feature, which alerts you via phone anytime your bag is too far away. This prevents you from losing your bag from accidentally leaving it behind.

Is Smart Luggage Banned?

This has been a common question circling the internet. The answer is: not all smart luggage is banned – only those designs that have a non-removable battery. Those with removable batteries are allowed on the plane but cannot be checked in. If you do need to check in your smart luggage, you will be asked to remove the battery and carry it with you. In saying that, all smart luggage made nowadays is designed to comply with these rules. As a result, you won’t come across any smart luggage on our website that has a non-removable battery. One of our top picks for smart luggage is the Samsonite Evoa Tech Hardside Suitcase range. This is a great business bag for working professionals, with a sleek brushed black exterior that oozes class. Available in a 55cm, 69cm and a 75cm size, you can get yourself the entire set. This case has a high-tech fingerprint locking system, which makes it pretty much impossible to break in to. It also has in-built scales, a USB port and a Bluetooth tracker. Check your suitcase weight before you leave, charge your devices on the go and keep track of your luggage at all times. On the inside, you’ll spot an interior divider and cross ribbons for compression to keep your belongings in place.
