Travelling can be either a joy or a pain, and the luggage you use to tote your stuff is one of the biggest factors in determining which. While manufacturers have made advancements in materials and design, suitcases really haven’t changed much since their modern inception in the early 1900s.
But luggage is finally getting smarter, and the options for connected suitcases and related gadgets -from startups like Away, to market leaders such as Samsonite and Delsey- are beginning to take hold.
From built-in scales to GPS tracking and mobile apps, these innovations won’t make luggage any lighter, but they could make the travelling experience less harrowing.
