From September 10th, passengers on the “Shenzhen-Shanghai Hongqiao” flight operated by Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines will be able to check the transportation status of checked baggage in real time after completing the baggage check-in procedure. After the service is launched, it is expected that more than 2,000 passengers will try the service every day.
The two WeChat applets of “Shenzhen Airport” and “China Eastern Airlines” can support real-time query of the transportation status of checked baggage. Shenzhen Airport said it will join forces with other airlines to gradually introduce more routes to support RFID baggage positioning and tracking, and continue to expand service coverage.

RFID is radio frequency identification technology, which is considered to be one of the most promising information technologies of the 21st century. The non-contact two-way data communication is performed by the radio frequency method, and the recording medium (electronic tag or radio frequency card) is read and written by using the radio frequency method, thereby achieving the purpose of identifying the target and exchanging data.
Before the new electronic luggage tag of China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines also used the built-in RFID identification chip to track the location, passengers can update the baggage information in real time after changing the flight.

The cost of using a small program to confirm the location of the baggage is lower than that of an electronic boarding pass of $688.
However, RFID’s identification chip is an essential part of this baggage tracking process. Before using the small program for baggage tracking, the airport ground staff will hang the RFID baggage for your baggage. In this way, the subsequent consignment, sorting, loading, loading and arrival of the baggage can be sensed and matched in real time, so that the person bag can quickly respond and the information is transmitted in the second order, so as to realize the whole process positioning and tracking of the baggage.
Baggage check-in and pick-up is only part of the flight process, and the remaining steps are ticketing, security and other offline steps. Recently, we have also found that the role of small programs in aviation services is slowly becoming more prominent.
The “Civil Aviation Temporary Flight Confirmation” applet on the same day will help users who have forgotten or lost their ID cards to carry out “real-body verification” verification, and efficiently issue temporary flight certificates to further promote the “paperless” of civil aviation passengers. “The process of convenient travel.

Users who are on the plane may have four or five airline apps in their mobile phones, but for users who have only taken one flight in three or four months, loading so many apps is a waste of resources. Small programs are such a medium- and low-frequency user would be a better choice.
China Southern regards small programs as one of the means to enhance the offline offline service experience:
Improve the service experience of offline scenes, combined with the scened service functions, enabling passengers to quickly self-service the required services.
and Spring Airlines, as the first developer of WeChat applet, provided users with convenient services for checking flight dynamics. In addition, they will use small programs to host new, tentative services.
For example, the “WeChat Pay” that was created in conjunction with WeChat Pay is used as a bearer. Users with a WeChat payment score of 550 or higher can enter the “Spring Airlines” applet before boarding the plane and enjoy the first-class payment on the 10,000-meter high-altitude experience machine.
For this type of airline, the user’s low threshold is an experimental soil for new service attempts.
Track your baggage dynamics, help you with temporary flight proofs, and get the service in flight mode… What other airline’s small program features make you feel good or new?
