Smart luggage is all the rage these days and Bluesmart is looking to capitalize on the attention with its new suitcases. We think these might actually be worth the hype.

The Bluesmart suitcae is equipped with multiple functions that make traveling easier. Like most smart luggage, it comes with GPS technology that allows you to locate your suitcase on a dime through your smartphone, perfect for folks constantly on the go. It also has a built-in scale so you know exactly what your pack weighs and can avoid sneaky fees that seem to magically increase between each flight.

 

What makes this suitcase extra special is the ability to use it as a mobile charger for your electronic devices. The battery has enough juice to recharge your smartphone or laptop up to six times during a trip before needing to be plugged in. That’s a pretty nifty tool to have on hand for travelers who work on the road.

As an added bonus, the Bluesmart Suitcase also includes remote locking from the smartphone app, so you don’t have to worry about who’s going through your stuff when you’re not around.

 

It currently retails online and comes in two designs, the ultra-sleek Black Edition and the original flavor. Prices start at $449.

United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
