Rimowa E-Tag Bags Check In
Hey Guys,
Does anyone have any experience with checking this bag in, the RIMOWA E-TAG. I realise all batteries have to be removed( two AAA) but as you all may know the screens will stay frozen forever without any power. Is this a problem with emirates? Thank you |

Thank you Are these 'normal' AAA batteries? Can you use non-Lithium batteries then? The problem is with Li batteries, I would expect Alkaline batteries to be allowed (although there might not be a 'protocol' for that and all E-Bags might be seen as the same thing. |

No issues, once you remove the batteries.
However, if you are referring to using the Electronic Tag option for your luggage tag, instead of personal information, Emirates is not a participating member of the Electronic Tag technology. Lufthansa Group and Eva Air are the only carriers who use the technology for check-in products. |
Honestly guys my Rimowa comes out full of bumps once I get it from the belt... Hesitant how this screen will do with the rough baggage handlers. |

Perhaps purchase a better quality bag, my carry-on survives just fine whenever I have to check it in
But in general - what 'better quality' luggage has there been for the past 60 or so years? |

I think OP is talking about hold luggage. But in general - what 'better quality' luggage has there been for the past 60 or so years? |

Isn't this the point of having an aluminium Rimowa suitcase? I love mine and all their dents and scratches - with the content remaining protected at all times. |
I’ve checked in my RIMOWA E-tag +/- 35 times and there is one (really, really, really) small mark on the screen....the screen itself is made of plastic so nothing to worry about in my opinion. The case itself is full of bumps and scratches but in my opinion that’s the charm. I do check my bag for cracks or big dents every time it comes from the belt. I also travel with the original invoice so I can claim a repair directly if it has been damaged . i do have to admit that I’m a platinum EK member and my bag is checked as priority first every time. I also explicitly ask for a “fragile” and a “heavy” label to be attached, maybe that helps as well. |

Each time, the plastic cracked when the luggage was half full, meaning that something very heavy was put above mine. As a side remark, I always remove "heavy" tags at collection, as it attracts customs officer's attention. |
