“The dominant cost of waiting is an emotional one: stress, boredom, that nagging sensation that one’s life is slipping away. The last thing we want to do with our dwindling leisure time is squander it in stasis.”
- Alex Stone is the author of “Fooling Houdini: Magicians, Mentalists, Math Geeks and the Hidden Powers of the Mind.”

People Love TravelTag!
Using TravelTag has allowed
me to enjoy freedom from
the baggage carousel. Now
I only get close to it when
my App announces my bag!
Rachel S.
I usually travel with my
family so that’s like 6-8
bags to track. I love this
app. Having to juggle one
less thing with kids in tow
is a life-saving idea!
Siddharth P.
I travel a lot for business.
This thing let’s me carry on
with my business w/o
having to huddle around
the carousel. Who’s got
time for that.
