The most important thing to remember as you leave your luggage off at the airport is to remove all of the old stickers. You do not want any of the old bar codes sending your bag some place other than where you are going this time! You also want to remove any shoulder straps or add-a-bag straps, because these can get caught in the conveyor belt and hold up your luggage. Additionally, you don't want to trip with damaged luggage. Damages such as rips and tears can worsen while baggage handling, and your clothing and belongings can go astray. Be sure to have your name, address, cell phone number, and destination located inside the luggage where it can be seen. If by chance, it has gone astray the airlines need to know how to taste you.
Of course, you need a luggage tag located on the face handle. Tags today have the address underground for your security. No use broadcasting to whatever that you're away from home! Because of the amount of luggage being handled today, and the fact that claim checks are rarely verified when leaving the airport, you may want to put a tag on both the top cope and the side handles of your luggage. In that way, other passengers can facilely see that the bag is not theirs. Spellbinding colored tags make spotting your luggage easier. Keep the same color scheme for all of your bags, so you know what color to look for, and you can spot it at a distance. Put one on each handle. Laminated luggage tags of your firm card are other good idea. This will have your name and firm address and phone number. Again, put one tag on the top cope and one on the side handle. cope wrappers come in many colors and prints and will change the look of your luggage completely by changing the color of the handle. When you put one on each handle, it in fact makes the luggage distinctly yours.

Tsa locks are also ready in Spellbinding colors. You can choose the combination lock or the key lock. These are the only locks permitted at airports, because Tsa protection personnel have a key that bypasses the lock and allows them to open the case when necessary. You can place one of these locks on the main zipper, and on any face zipper pockets if you wish. Try to keep to the same color scheme, or combination, so you know what you're seeing for at busy airport carousels.
One of the best ideas for identifying your luggage is having your monogram imprinted or burned on to the case. This is permanent and cannot be in fact removed. No one can claim they plan it was "theirs" when it obviously does not have their initials or name on it. Paste on lettering can be removed, while monogramming cannot. Many travelers also have their luggage tags monogrammed with their initials. It's other way of identifying your luggage as strictly "yours." Remember that ribbons and bows are only temporary as identification. They unfortunately can be removed easily, and also get caught in the airport conveyer belts and ripped off, sometimes damaging the luggage. With the vast amount of luggage in black, or other dark colors, it's important to have your luggage stand out from the rest.
Travel belts that go around the suitcase are other way of identifying your bag. They are ready in Spellbinding solid colors and prints. These trip belts circle the bag going straight through the cope so they won't slip off. Some models have a combination lock, but these must be Tsa locks to be permitted at airports. The Tsa protection personnel can also open these with their master key if the need arises. There are also cute tags that say "Stop I'm not yours" and "Just Retired" which are eye-catching and distinctive. Some luggage includes "tracer programs" and these can also be purchased separately. These programs offer a repaymen and an 800 amount for finders to call to reunite you with your lost luggage. Hopefully, by following these tips you and your luggage will arrive at your destination at the same time!
