British Airways will introduce reusable luggage tags with Kindle-like epaper displays next year. After checking in online, passengers will be able to use the BA app to create a luggage tag for their journey. The app isn't available to the public yet, but it currently utilzes NFC to beam the necessary data down to the tag, updating its epaper display. At launch, the tags are unlikely to use NFC, as BA wants to make them compatible with all smartphones.
