BagID has been designed in close collaboration with airlines and airports, and is designed to handle shock, rain and rough baggage handling.

The cover features rough edges for extra resistance against impact on the sides. The screen is made of a flexible material so that it is bendable and should not break, and the display is covered with a special designed protective glass. It is extremely resistant to scratches.

BagID has been tested by Avinor at Gardemoen airport (OSLO International airport) for verification that it can withstand rough baggage handling conditions.

Crash testing of the BagID has also been performed. The BagID was attached to the underside of a 27kg suitcase and dropped from a 1 meter height. The only registered damage from the testing was a scratch on the mounting plate. The screen was undamaged and remained fully readable.

When mounted correctly the chance of the BagID falling off your bag is extremely low.

The BagID 2 is mounted to your baggage using the attachment casing. The casing can be attached and detached, so you can switch it between different bags.

You attach an aluminium bar to the handle of your bag by tightening two velcro straps firmly. You then place the BagID inside the casing, slide it onto the bar and fasten it with a locking pin.

For extra security, also against theft, you can use our TSA padlock. If you use our TSA padlock, we will replace the device if you lose it. *See terms in the BagID 2 product description.

BagID is integrated with all partner airlines, and checking in baggage works as BagID connects to the airlines systems and fetches information on both the flight and baggage tags.

BagID also fetches information for example on flight times, delays, gates and baggage arrival carousels, and send updates during your journey so that you stay updated on the most up to date changes.

As a tracking device, BagID can be used with all airlines, en route or outside of airports, worldwide.

Functions such as tracking, name tag and updates do not require interaction from all of the unique airlines, and can be used on all types of journeys. You can receive information on where your things are located without any coordination from the airlines.

When it comes to checking in baggage with airlines, it is primarily Norwegian airlines and Widerøe who offer these solutions today. It is expected that more airlines from Scandinavia, Europe, USA and Asia will also support the use of BagID.

Luggage check-in will only be available once you have checked in with the airlines.

Depending on the airline, you can check-in your luggage from the BagID app 24-48 hours prior to your flight. Please note that this may vary by airline.

Your baggage can be taken straight to Bag Drop! This is usually clearly visible at all airports and is often the first thing you see upon arrival. If you cannot locate the Bag Drop area, contact the information desk at the airport.

When you’ve added your travel itinerary into the BagID app and have transferred baggage information to your BagID device, your luggage is ready to be checked in. You can then take your baggage straight to Bag Drop.

Note: You need to be checked-in with the airline before you can check-in your luggage on the BagID.

The baggage drop process can vary between airlines. Follow the instructions from your airline’s baggage and check in areas.

Your luggage is automatically weighed on the carousel at bag drop, before it is accepted and moved into the plane’s cargo hold.

If your baggage is too heavy, you will be asked to contact airline personnel for assistance.

Four pins stick through the mounting plate and baggage, and secure with magnetic functionality on the inside of the luggage. (The same functionality which is used for clothing theft alarms in clothing boutiques). It fastened securely and well, and a special magnet remover is used to remove the plate.

It takes a few seconds to click the BagID into the mounting plate on your luggage.

To loosen the BagID, the baggage needs to be opened. This significantly reduces the chance of theft.

If you plan on using BagID on multiple items of luggage, you will need multiple mounting plates or a mounting case. Add additional casings if you desire to share the unit within your family.

The mounting plate is difficult to remove from baggage, so take care in attaching it to the luggage which you intend on using most for travel.
