BAGTAG, a leader in innovative baggage solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Sabre Corporation, a global technology provider for the travel industry. This collaboration introduces an innovative digital baggage tag solution for SabreSonic Airline customers, marking a transformative shift in how passengers and crew manage their baggage check-ins.​

Through this partnership, SabreSonic Airline customers now have the option to easily implement BAGTAG’s electronic bag tag solution, effectively eliminating the need for traditional paper label check-in processes at airports. This significantly improves traveller experience by enabling faster bag drop-offs and reducing congestion at check-in counters by empowering travellers to tag their own bags off-airport.

“This partnership with Sabre signifies another pivotal moment for BAGTAG and corroborates our multi-vendor approach. By integrating Sabre’s extensive industry expertise and airline network with BAGTAG’s pioneering technology, we are looking at an even brighter future for checked-in baggage,”​ said Jasper Quak, Managing Director BAGTAG

On its mission to simplify and speed up processes for passengers choosing to travel with checked baggage, BAGTAG developed a multi-vendor solution and works with its hardware partners to provide airlines and their passengers a range of connected products to elevate their baggage experience. Now working with 15 airlines worldwide, BAGTAG’s solutions are increasingly finding adoption with carriers to digitalise and optimise their crew baggage operations.

“As Sabre continues to drive innovation and collaboration within the global travel industry, our partnership with BAGTAG exemplifies our commitment to solving the most complex challenges in travel for our customers and, ultimately, their passengers. We all know from our own travel experiences that long check-in lines can be major sources of frustration. By combining Sabre and BAGTAG’s technologies, we can provide our airline partners with an innovative solution to reduce hassle and simplify the travel journey for travellers worldwide,”​​ said Mike Reyes, SVP Product Management Sabre
