WorldTracer Kiosk

Self-service baggage recovery enables passengers to report their own missing bags

WorldTracer Kiosk is a new passenger self-service feature of WorldTracer. It enables passengers to file a missing baggage report via kiosk in the airport arrivals / claims / customs area.

 

Self-service options for baggage

Self-service baggage is not new; many airlines and airports around the world already have self-service kiosks and bag drops in place. However, as the technology continues to improve, self-service options for both baggage check-in and recovery have become simpler and faster for travellers.

WorldTracer Kiosk enables passengers to report delayed bags by scanning bar codes on their luggage tags. This will reduce the time it takes to report lost bags.The service will also eventually include a mobile option so travellers can track the status of delayed bags on their mobile phone, personal digital assistant or other mobile device.

Passengers rank 'check-in baggage arriving on time' as second in importance for a pleasant journey (after the flight arriving on time). Unfortunately, millions of checked bags are delayed each year. But this new kiosk feature of WorldTracer will provide affected passengers with more convenience and peace of mind.

WorldTracer Kiosk may be combined with any and all of the following modules:

• Baggage Tracing
• Baggage Management
• Web Services
