In a bid to reduce its carbon emissions, Japan Airlines has launched an innovative initiative where it will offer rental clothing to passengers during their visit to the island nation.
The airline on Wednesday announced that it is trialing a clothing rental service – "Any Wear, Anywhere" – that enables passengers to rent a bundle of clothing in advance, which can then be delivered to their hotel or Airbnb on arrival in Japan.
The idea is that by traveling light, customers can help to reduce fuel and CO2 emissions and be more sustainable in their travel.
To reserve clothing, travelers must register online and enter both their JAL reference number and their hotel address (or address of their short term rental). Travelers should make their reservation a month before traveling and can use the clothing for up to two weeks.
Travelers can choose from several different “sets” with clothing organized by season and occasion (casual, smart casual, and a mix). A basic rental starts at 4,000 yen (or just over $27) for three tops and two bottoms.
