THE PROJECT
Imagine yourself at an airport after a long tiring trip. You reach baggage claim and you wait. You wait some more. Unsure if your bag will appear, your frustration level starts to rise. Let’s consider that you weren’t so lucky that day. Your bag never showed up and now you need to figure out how to report it and then wonder when you will be reunited with your belongings. As you wait for your delayed bag, you might also worry whether it might be damaged or perhaps stolen or forever lost. Those days are over because BAGO is here to make your journey stress free from the moment you check-in your bag until it’s safely back in your hands.
