Like traveling light?
Well, one international airline has launched a clothes-sharing trial it hopes will lessen luggage, help the environment and create an all-round easier traveling experience.
The “Any Wear, Anywhere” trial is currently underway for travelers to Japan, run by Japan Airlines and partnering company Sumitomo Corporation.
It offers the chance for foreign tourists and business travelers to Japan to rent clothes for as little as $27.95 for as much as two weeks.
Travelers can rent as much as eight outfits in three sizes – small, medium and huge – in smart, smart casual or mixed styles.
The chosen attire might be delivered to a traveler’s designated hotel.
In a press release, JAL hoped the trial would promote sustainability and improve the traveler experience.
“Travelers increasingly desire to make more sustainable selections regarding their travel destinations, accommodations, transportation etc., they still lack sufficient options,” the airline said.
“The concept of the Service is, subsequently, to offer a travel experience with minimal luggage by offering clothing rentals on the destination, thereby creating environmental value.
“By expanding the usage of the service, we aim to create an environment where travelers can use local options for all facets of their clothing, food, and accommodation, transforming travel and business trips into more sustainable experiences.”
The garments are available through a web-based shopfront; nonetheless, travelers with a spontaneous disposition needn’t inquire because the airline states reservations have to be made at the least one month prematurely.
The trial period is about for July 5, 2023, to August 31, 2024.
