The Japanese are not known for their creativity. However, their airline Japan Airlines is showing remarkable inventiveness on the road to saving expenses. Whether it be those for food served in the cabin to passengers or those for the fuel needed to get plane, passengers and their luggage to their destination.
After launching, now more than a couple of years ago, the 'Skip the meal' option (literally: 'skip the meal'), a few days ago Japan launched, in collaboration with Sumitomo and Wefabrik, 'Any wear, anywhere.' With the first, passengers can forgo in-flight catering by being rewarded with a vanity kit. With the second, they can rent up to eight outfits once they arrive at their destination at their booked hotel in Tokyo, which they must then return, leaving them at the hotel, when they depart.
The dresses, available in different sizes, patterns and styles, can be booked on the Any Wear, Anywhere website. at least one month prior to departure by entering the flight booking code and can be rented for up to two weeks. The cost of 'renting' ranges from $28 to $48 (25-43 euros) depending on the number of garments you rent.
The initiative, which is experimental, will be valid until August 31. And if successful, probably made structural and extended to other airlines that are part of Oneworld with which Japan does codeshare on flights to and from Tokyo.
Japan Airlines' hope is to induce its Tokyo-bound passengers to carry lighter luggage (checked and carry-on), thereby reducing aircraft weight, fuel consumption, and expense for the same.
For passengers, the convenience is to travel with less heavy and bulky luggage, and therefore more comfortable. And of not incurring surcharges related to baggage that exceeds the allowances specified by class. The initiative also has environmental purposes, since, according to t Japan Airlines itself states, every kilogram less on a flight between Tokyo and New York translates into a reduction in emissions of 0.75kg of CO2.
