Tick List: Bluesmart luggage

So you’re at the airport, waiting to board, and in the process of writing that all-important email before you’re offline for the next seven hours. This, of course, is right about the time that your phone runs out of battery. That’s where Bluesmart luggage comes in—neatly tucked into the top of the case is a handy USB charging port, capable of charging your phone up to six times. And that’s not all it does.

Whether it’s for business or leisure, global travel is a common part of most people’s lives today—and the Bluesmart suitcase makes travelling just that little bit more bearable by offering ingenious solutions to many of the problems you can encounter en-route to your destination. Ever been caught out at check-in with luggage that’s just a bit too heavy? Bluesmart has you covered—pull the handle at the top of the case and the downloadable app will tell you the approximate weight.

It will keep your packed possessions secure with a lock that you can activate from your smart devices, and if you’re the forgetful sort, the case can send you a message alerting you when you’ve left it behind. In the worst case scenario, if your luggage is lost somewhere along your journey, the Bluesmart even has GPS and 3G technology to track it wherever it might be in the world. Unfortunately, you’re still on your own when it comes to airline food, though. £350, bluesmart.com
