Ben Minicucci, CEO of Alaska Airlines | Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines was the first U.S. airline to introduce digital baggage tags, which have been tested on various routes, including flights to and from Hawaii and between New York and California. The electronic bag tags are produced by Bagtag.

Bagtag recently announced that its digital bag tags can now be used on Hawaiian Airlines flights. The devices are priced at $89 and may appeal to frequent travelers with Alaska or Hawaiian Airlines.

Currently, the bag tags are compatible with Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska Airlines, SkyWest flights operated by Alaska, Oneworld partner Qatar Airways, and Alaska partner Icelandair. Customers can purchase them online through the Bagtag section of Alaska’s website and receive them by mail. For a limited time, a two-pack is available using the code "ALASKAPAIR" at checkout.

To use the electronic tag, travelers check in and add luggage via the Alaska app before selecting "Use electronic bag." They then scan the tag with their phone to display a digital version of their luggage bar codes on the device’s screen. While there have been occasional connection issues during setup, these were resolved after several attempts. The feature does not yet appear in the Hawaiian app but is expected soon.

During testing on a flight from New York to San Francisco, one tag became separated from a bag but was reattached by baggage handlers. Travelers are advised to secure the tag tightly to avoid similar issues.

"While I didn't find them perfect, the $89 price tag could be worth the investment for regular Alaska or Hawaiian flyers."

In summary, Bagtag's expansion means that more passengers can now use digital baggage tags across several airlines' networks.
