UK (Next Media) - British Airways this month began trailing reusable electronic tags that customers can update using their smartphones. According to a British Airways press release: “Once checked in, customers just need to hold their smartphone over the electronic tag, which automatically updates with a unique barcode containing their flight details and an easy-to-see view of their bag’s destination.” British Airways plans to officially launch the tags in 2014.
