RTD teleport ticket booking website

The brief

Context

In the world of RTD, teleportation works like conventional rail travel: passengers arrive at a converted railway station, wait for their departure and take turns walking through a portal instead of boarding a train. They can only teleport completely naked, with no metal on or inside their bodies. Before travelling, they need to decide what to do with their belongings and choose the clothes RTD will provide on arrival.

Task

Design a ticket booking interface that helps passengers understand the restrictions, decide what to do with their belongings and choose clothing for arrival before their trip.

Idea

The interface resembles a railway ticket booking service, while accounting for the rules of teleportation, clothing on arrival and personal belongings. Check-in uses a code phrase that the passenger records as audio after paying for the ticket.
