"Ouch," the flight number, baggage destination and other information will be displayed in electronic ink on the permanent electronic baggage tag, using only a few seconds... This morning, China Eastern Airlines officially issued the world's first passive permanent electronic baggage tag on the Shanghai Hongqiao-Beijing Capital Beijing-Shanghai route. Eastern reporter learned that the next step, China Eastern Airlines will also be in its APP and other channels to accept free applications for electronic baggage tags.
在虹桥2号航站楼出发层F岛值机柜台可以看到，首批领取到永久电子行李牌的旅客现场体验了这项便捷操作。旅客在东航APP提前完成自助值机后，选择行李托运，将电子行李牌靠近手机NFC（近场通信，NearFieldCommunication，目前大部分手机已具备）感应区进行数据感应，“嘀”一声，航班号、行李目的地等信息就会通过电子墨水显示在永久电子行李牌上，用时仅需短短几秒。随后，旅客前往专柜激活即可轻松完成整个行李托运过程。
From the F Island check-in counter on the departure floor of Hongqiao Terminal 2, we can see that the first group of passengers who received the permanent electronic baggage tag experienced this convenient operation on site. Passengers select baggage check-in after the self-check-in of Eastern Airlines APP is completed ahead of schedule, and use electronic baggage tag to make data sensing near the mobile phone NFC (Near Field Communication, most of the mobile phones already have) induction area. With a "beep", information such as flight number and baggage destination will be displayed in electronic ink at Yong. It only takes a few seconds on the long electronic baggage tag. Subsequently, passengers can easily complete the whole baggage checking process by going to the special counter to activate.
值得一提的是，借助电子行李牌内置RFID识别芯片的准确追踪功能，旅客可在东航APP随时查询自己托运行李的状态。“电子行李牌的应用，简化了行李托运流程，颠覆了以往拴挂行李条、在登机牌上贴行李旅客联等操作，旅客即使身在家中或路上，也能通过东航APP自助办理行李托运手续。”
It is worth mentioning that with the help of electronic baggage tag built-in RFID identification chip accurate tracking function, passengers can check their checked baggage status at any time in Eastern Airlines APP. "The application of electronic baggage tag simplifies the baggage checking process, subverts the previous operation of attaching baggage bars and placing baggage passenger couplets on boarding passes. Even if passengers are at home or on the road, they can also handle baggage checking procedures by themselves through Eastern Airlines APP." Shen Chenyi, General Manager of Global Baggage Control Center of China Eastern Airlines Ground Service Department, introduced.
此次全球首发的东航电子行李牌最大的亮点之一，是首次采用“无源”设计，可反复使用，不易损坏，永久跟随旅客。此外，因其无需内置电池，运输过程中不受航空安全和锂电池运输等限制，在防范风险的同时引领航空服务的再次升级，旅客操作也更加安全可靠。不仅如此，通过电子行李牌进行交互的数据都不会因天气变化等外界因素而受损，防摔抗震，具有很大优势。
Eastern reporter in the interview learned that the world's first electronic baggage tag of China Eastern Airlines, one of the biggest highlights, is the first time to adopt a "passive" design, can be used repeatedly, not easy to damage, permanently follow the passengers. In addition, because it does not need built-in batteries, the transport process is not restricted by aviation safety and lithium battery transportation, while preventing risks, it leads to the re-upgrading of aviation services, and passenger operation is more safe and reliable. Moreover, data exchanged through electronic baggage tags will not be damaged by external factors such as weather changes, anti-falling and anti-seismic, which has great advantages.
