Japan\u002Dbound passengers can reserve apparel that will be delivered to their accommodation upon arrival, creating a \u0027travel experience with minimal luggage\u0027
The program offers clothing in sizes from small to extra large and in styles designated “casual” and “smart casual.” A set of smart-casual women’s clothes includes a black peacoat, three sweaters, two tops, two pairs of wide-leg pants and a skirt. A man looking for casual winter basics might order a package with a puffer coat, two sweaters, two pairs of pants and a sweatshirt. Prices begin at roughly $28.
Still, it remains to be seen whether the photo-oriented travellers of the 21st century will trust a foreign company with their sartorial choices for an entire trip. And if they do, it’s unclear how it will affect the carbon footprint of the aviation industry, which researchers say is responsible for 3.5 percent of human-induced climate change.
JAL’s program comes with big promises typical of sustainability initiatives. Forgoing about 22 pounds of luggage on a flight from New York to Tokyo reduces carbon emissions by about 16 1/2 pounds, the equivalent of 78 days of not using a hair dryer, the rental website says.
