Heartbeats will replace passports by 2070, according to easyJet predictions

Traditional passports will become a thing of the past within the next 50 years, according to travel predictions – with passengers instead having their heartbeats scanned in order to get through airport security.

Fingerprint scanning technology could be developed to a whole new level, with holidaymakers only requiring their heartbeat signatures and biometric details – which are unique to every person – in order to travel.

And with 3D printing also on the rise, in 50 years' time passengers may not even need to take luggage away with them – as they could simply choose from a selection of 3D printed, recyclable clothes upon arrival at their hotel.

This also goes for their food, with experts predicting that hotel buffet food could all be 3D printed to each individual's taste, ensuring they are served exactly what they want to eat, and minimising food waste.

In fact, travellers could even sample a destination before they travel, as predictions have suggested that “try before you buy” bionic and Meta holiday previews will allow people to see, hear, smell, and feel their destination before booking a ticket.

The future travel predictions have been published in easyJet's 2070: The Future Travel Report, authored by leading academics Professor Birgitte Andersen, Professor Graham Braithwaite, Dr Patrick Dixon, futurist Shivvy Jervis, and Dr Melissa Sterry.
