The world\u2019s leading travel brand launches its next generation of smart connected luggage engineered\u00a0<\/em>in a way that<\/em>\u00a0travellers are always in control of what matters most.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 29:<\/strong> Lost luggage is one of travel\u2019s most persistent anxieties. Samsonite, the world\u2019s leading travel brand, is solving it,\u00a0permanently. Today,\u00a0Samsonite announces Waypoint\"\u2122\",<\/u><\/a>\u00a0its built-in luggage tracking system that transforms the Samsonite\u00a0Zipprix\u00a0FT from a bag into an intelligent travel companion.<\/p>\n

Waypoint\"\u2122\" is not an add-on. It is engineered into the luggage itself,\u00a0a discreet, integrated tracker embedded within a premium leather personalisation tag. No separate\u00a0tag. No fumbling with accessories. Just quiet, continuous confidence that your bag is exactly where it should be.<\/p>\n

Powered by both Apple\u2019s Find My and Google\u2019s Find Hub networks, Waypoint\"\u2122\" works seamlessly across iOS and Android,\u00a0with no additional app required. Through Google\u2019s Find Hub, the system also integrates with airline baggage handling systems of major global carriers, giving travellers an unprecedented view of their bag\u2019s journey from check-in to carousel.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over a century, Samsonite has led the way in redefining what luggage can be,\u201d said\u00a0Anushree Tainwala, Chief Business Officer,\u00a0Samsonite India. \u201cWaypoint\"\u2122\" is not a feature. It is a philosophy. The belief that your bag should be as smart as the journey it enables,\u00a0and that technology, when done right, disappears into design. We have always been at the forefront of travel innovation; Waypoint\"\u2122\" is the next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Waypoint\"\u2122\" tag features a slide-open cover, a leather embossing patch for personalisation, and a user-replaceable CR2032 battery,\u00a0balancing intelligence with elegance. Setting it up on iPhone takes under a minute via Apple\u2019s Find My; on Android, it connects instantly through Google\u2019s Find Hub. Once paired, travellers can track their bag\u2019s location in real time, trigger an audible alert, enable Lost Mode, or share location access with a travel companion.<\/p>\n

Samsonite\u2019s<\/u><\/a>\u00a0commitment to purposeful innovation runs through every product it makes. From pioneering polycarbonate shells to ergonomic spinner wheels, the brand has consistently translated emerging technology into lasting\u00a0travel solutions. Waypoint\"\u2122\" continues that tradition, setting the stage for a connected luggage ecosystem that will expand across future Samsonite lines as Google\u2019s Find Hub platform evolves, including planned Ultra-Wideband (UWB) integration within 2026.<\/p>\n

Zipprix\u00a0FT with Waypoint\"\u2122\" will be available in India\u00a0at exclusive SamsoniteStores\u00a0from\u00a018th<\/sup>\u00a0June, 2026. The product ranges from\u00a0INR\u00a016,500\u00a0to INR\u00a020,100.<\/p>\n

The future of connected travel begins with Waypoint\"\u2122\".<\/p>\n
