This Airline Will Rent Out Clothes So You Can Travel Baggage-Free
- Island nation gearing up for influx during travel season
- Airline emphasizing environmental benefits, convenience
Tourists and business travelers to Japan will soon be able to show up with little more than the clothes they’re wearing, thanks to an initiative by Japan Airlines Co. and Sumitomo Corp. to offer rental clothing during visits to the island nation.
Describing the initiative as a bid to promote sustainable tourism while offering convenience, the airline said visitors will be able to select apparel based on size and seasonal needs via a website prior to boarding a Japan Airlines-operated flight. The service will run on a trial basis through August 2024.
