In order to get the most enjoyment when you travel, consider planning ahead for ways to identify your luggage once you reach your destination. Keeping track of your bags at the airport, train station or at the cruise ship dock is an important component of a successful travel experience.
It’s not always easy to figure out which luggage is yours in the bustle of an airport baggage claim - next time you’re waiting at the baggage carousel, make a note of how many identical black canvas bags you see. I’m guessing this accounts for the bulk of the bags there in the carousel, right? This is why baggage mix-ups happen so often; a lot of people have baggage which is the same color, size and style as everyone else!
If you’re looking for some new luggage, why not get something a little different this time? Unless you have your own custom designer, you may not be able to have a luggage set which is unique to you, but if you move away from the normal black or brown, it can go a long way towards helping you identify your luggage so you can find it quickly in the airport. If you are feeling a little more adventurous, you could opt for bright colors or eye catching patterns; while not for everyone, it certainly makes it easier to spot your belongings.
Making A Statement And Finding Your Bags
One way you can make your luggage stand out is to tie a ribbon or scarf which is brightly colored or features a distinctive pattern. This, of course can work against you if others on your flight had the same idea. Always double check your luggage tags, even if you think no one else could possibly have a neon green ribbon on their suitcase.
There is a problem with this method though - ribbons and scarves can get caught in conveyor belts and the like during handling, which may cause delays. Also, they can come off during this process. You should always include a tag with all of your contact information, whether or not you have a unique tie on your luggage.
Additionally, you should put your contact information inside each bag. If your luggage is lost or switched with that of another traveler, this can help your bags find their way back to you. And if your luggage tags should somehow come off in transit, you can then prove your ownership of your luggage to airport personnel.
One of the best ways to ensure that your luggage does not get lost is personalized luggage tags, which a growing number of travelers are opting for. Many different designs and colors are available, making it easier to identify your luggage in a crowded airport. Embroidered luggage tags are one kind which is particularly popular. You do want to try to find the most unusual luggage tags you can as this makes it highly unlikely your bags will be mistaken for another’s. If you have ways to identify your luggage quickly, you can get out of the baggage claim and off to the beach or wherever you happen to be going.
