Airports can feel like a maze. You deal with crowded spaces, juggle luggage, and stand in never-ending check-in lines. Then there's the stress of searching for your boarding gate. And don't forget dragging your suitcase everywhere. It's exhausting. But what if there was a solution? Well, there just might be. A vlogger recently posted a video that's making travellers rethink airport struggles. "Best thing I have seen in an airport," she says, starting with pure excitement. "This little robot is called an Airporter. If you scan your luggage here, it will be taken directly to the boarding gate. Are you kidding me?" Her amazement is clear. "This is so cool, and, by the way, it's completely free!" she added.
The video shows Incheon Airport, near Seoul, South Korea. A sleek white robot with a piece of yellow and red luggage is seen assisting the vlogger. It carries bags straight to the boarding gate. You simply scan your luggage, and it does the rest. No more dragging heavy suitcases through the terminal. The caption highlighted how Incheon Airport is "winning." The robot adapts to passengers' needs, helping those in a hurry and those wanting to explore before boarding. "Incheon airport is winning. You can even let the robot know if you're in a rush to get to your gate or if you're going to mill around the shops," reads the caption of the now-viral clip.

Of course, the video attracted a lot of attention on social media, clocking 3 million views. A user raised a valid concern: "Ummm, you're not allowed to leave or be separated from your luggage in the airport unless it's stored in baggage storage. Otherwise, it's a security breach and the TSA will confiscate the bags." "Sooo cool. It would be nice if it had a seat so it could take me as well," a person joked. Another comment read, "China and most of the rest of Asia are living in 2030." Someone else asked, "So what if your luggage takes off to the gate and you stop at the bathroom?" A fair point. Hopefully, the robot has a way to pause.

Whether you're rushing or just enjoying the airport, it makes life easier. Imagine a world where struggling with luggage is a thing of the past. Wouldn't that be nice?
