BAGTAG labels for LH/OS/LX [split off from Rimowa eTag thread]
My understanding is that the technology is living on.

90 euros for the thing, and then I have to destroy the bag by drilling holes into it for mounting? Not to mention the question of whether it's even possible to move this between different bags....
Another useless gadget that claims to fix a problem that doesn't exist by giving benefits that aren't possible while creating a bunch of other problems.

Attach a BAGTAG to your suitcase and never worry again. From the comfort of your home, hotel or even the beach you can update the label on your suitcase. Check in, add your suitcase and you’re ready for take-off. Travelling has never been so easy.
And let's be honest: this tag (pretty much like Rimowa's e-tag) just looks ugly. Who wants to permanently stick something like this to his or her suitcase?

Incidentally, I remembered an incident that happened almost 10 years ago, when I was working at an airport. We've had a plane gone bust, were offloading the bags for possible change of airframe and I was given a list of pax who'd liked to have their bags delivered to them while they went home and decided what to do further on (there was gonna be delay of at least 4-6 hours, as an outstation).
I'd certainly have "loved" it if either of these were used.

I'm more concerned about the durability of the tag, how will it stick to my suitcase and will it stay? Or detach taking a chunk of my bag with it?
Also the tag updates via bluetooth, so I doubt that it can be updated in irregs.

If I understood the mounting right, I wouldn't worry about it staying attached. Looks like a pretty sturdy mount with two plates screwed together through case wall.
Good point about BT updates. That's the same for Rimowas I think, and can become a problem. Possibly in future with RFID airline might be able to reasonably update the screen....
