Planes, trains, and automobiles – modern travel can be stressful, but the latest tech can smooth the way for you.
MOBILE TECHNOLOGY has transformed travel in recent years. Simply being able to plug in your headphones and listen to some soothing music can make a long flight or train journey a lot more pleasant, and now you can even fly halfway around the world binge-watching Game of Thrones on your iPad to while away the hours. But mobile tech has some really straightforward, practical uses too, from simple battery packs that can charge up your iPhone or iPad, through to smart baggage that can help you to keep track of your belongings when you’re on the road.
Losing a case is the nightmare scenario for every traveler – and we’ve probably all spent unnecessary hours waiting for luggage simply because our bags have been knocked off the baggage carousel and not come through with all the other baggage from a flight. That kind of mishap can now be prevented with the range of smart suitcases that are now available. Samsonite is one of the most well known manufacturers of rugged luggage, and it recently announced a new range of Track&Go cases (available early 2017). The new cases include a built-in “beacon” that uses Bluetooth to help you locate your luggage. Bluetooth only has limited range, of course – Samsonite says just over 200 ft for the Track&Go cases, but that’s probably enough if your baggage has gone astray at the airport.
