Alaska Airlines has launched an updated version of its electronic bag tags, available for purchase now. The new tags allow travelers to tag their luggage from home, reducing the time spent in airport lines.
After two years since the initial launch of the Electronic Bag Tag program, Alaska Airlines has enhanced the technology based on feedback from internal testers and Mileage Plan elites. "Creating a premium guest experience is important to us," the airline stated, emphasizing their commitment to streamlining the airport experience.
The updated electronic bag tags feature improvements such as app experience updates, a new strap design, and dedicated support. Notably, these tags do not require batteries or separate charging as they are powered through NFC signals on phones.
