Hong Kong is Convenient

This isn’t advertising related at all but incredibly amazing for all those frequent travelers out there. I can really relate because I’ve been living out of my suitcase for the earlier half of this year.

Hong Kong has devised a system where you can check-in your luggage from inside the city. That frees you up to explore more and not waste an entire day. It allows you to spend your last day without being constrained by your luggage. You no longer have to lug your bags through cavernous metros and tight turnstiles. You no longer have to pay an expensive as hell taxi fare.

Checking-in in the city essentially functions like a satellite check-in booth at the airport. You go through the same procedures you would, and your luggage goes straight through to the plane. You don’t have to worry about any additional steps.

The only semi-caveat is in order to qualify for this service, you have to purchase an express metro train to the airport. That’s $13 USD. The train also has free WiFi onboard. There really is no downside to this system aside from trust. Personally, I can’t wait until this system gets implemented in other cities around the world. The sooner the better.
