As much as a tag for luggage is useful for identifying one's luggage and providing a return address should one's suitcase be lost, [luggage tags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggage-losers) rarely serve additional purposes beyond the airport. [KLM](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klm-royal-dutch-airlines-1) is looking to change this by introducing the KLM Care Tag, which makes it possible for a traveler to have [additional assistance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rakun-card) from a KLM crew member, even after they have left their flight.

For passengers who visit Amsterdam this coming September, KLM will be offering a limited number of its Care Tags, which feature location-based tips on navigating the city, voiced by some of its own crew members. Users will be able to affix the smart luggage tag to a piece of clothing or a bag and receive guidance when walking, cycling or sightseeing in the area.
