Smart suitcase tells owners what to pack for holiday

It's finally happened, we've finally found a connected gadget that will actually improve our lives. Amongst the time-wasting, smartphone-syncing meat thermometers, fishing aides and internet-connected wine bottles, this smart suitcase has blown our minds by being able to tell us what to pack for our travels, Digital Spy said.

The Bluesmart suitcase connects to a dedicated app that knows your travel plans and tracks the weather in your destination. From this, it can prompt you on how to pack appropriately - that's a no to the budgie-smugglers then.

That's not where this luggage's tech-based wizardry ends either - it's packed with cool features.

Picking off travel chores one-by-one, the suitcase boasts a digital scale in its handle so it can weigh itself when you pick it up to make sure it's within your flight's baggage allowance limits.

It also features a phone-controlled smart lock and an integrated battery booster that holds enough juice to completely recharge your phone six times over.

What's more, thanks to its smartphone-friendly ways, you can always track its location, so if the airline fudges up and misplaces your bag you can help them pin down its location.

There is a downside, though. With Apple Watch unlock skills thrown in for good measure, the carry-on cleared bag doesn't come cheap.

Available now through Firebox, the Bluesmart suitcase will set wannabe owners back $500.
