Behind-The-Scenes: Your Bag’s Journey On Delta

Have you ever wondered where your bags go after they pass through those black rubber flaps at the airport? Well, we rigged a bag with 6 cameras and sent it on its way from Atlanta to New York, just so you could find out! This is an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at some of the people, places and things your bag encounters on its way to get from Point A to Point B.

Interesting, right? And now you can track your own bag’s journey on the Fly Delta app, too. Just take a photo of the tag on your iPhone or enter the bag tag number, and you’re ready to go knowing your bag will get off the plane where you do.

P.S. Haven’t downloaded the Fly Delta app? You can do that here.

Say Hello To Mobile Baggage Tracking

Whether it’s a flight across the country or across the pond, we know how important it is that your bags travel where you do. You may remember in April when we announced lots of improvements to help you with checked baggage, which is why today we’re excited to tell you about another one!

Now when you download the latest update to the Delta app, you’ll be able to track your checked bag – just like you track a package.

So how does it work? Just enter the number on your bag tag receipt – or iPhone® users can scan the barcode – and watch your bag’s journey from departure to arrival and all points in between. Plus you’ll even know which carousel they arrive on!

Ever been sitting on the plane and wondering whether your bags are too? With the new app feature you can even track your bags while in flight. That’s right – Gogo® Inflight Internet gives you free access to delta.com or the Delta app.

Plus enjoy other new features when you download the updated app, like the ability to pay for your bags during mobile check-in, accessing airport maps and aircraft information and viewing a complete list of Delta Sky Club® locations so you’re never left wondering where to go.

The latest update for the Fly Delta app is now available for iPhone®, Android™ and Windows® Phone users and is coming to Blackberry® in early 2012. So go ahead, download it for free. It’s just one more way you can “take off” with an easier, more convenient travel experience!

P.S. did we mention we’re the only U.S. airline gives you the tools to track your bags anytime, even while in flight? So be sure to try it out and tell us what you think!
