A luggage tag does two jobs: it gets your bag back to you if it goes astray, and it saves you lifting six identical black suitcases off the carousel before you find yours. This one has a secure ID window, so your details sit behind the card rather than facing outward at everybody walking past.
That matters more than it sounds. An open tag showing your full home address tells a stranger where you live and that you are not there. The usual advice from travellers who have learned the hard way is to write your name, mobile number and email, and leave the street address off entirely. An airline or a hotel only needs a way to reach you, not a way to reach your house.
Using it well
- Write in pen that survives rain. Carousels and trolleys get wet, and a smudged number is the same as no number.
- Put a second tag inside the case. External tags are the part most likely to be torn off in a baggage system. A card with the same details sitting on top of your clothes costs nothing and is what actually reunites people with lost bags.
- Add your destination, not your home. For a single trip, the hotel name and dates are more useful to airline staff than anything else.
Seven colours, which is the other half of the point: pick one nobody else at your airport is likely to have. If you travel as a couple or a family, tagging every bag in the same colour makes a set easy to count at a glance.
Available in Gold, Navy, Olive, Pebble, Rose, Saddle and Scarlet.
