If you are getting ready to go on vacation or a business trip, you can save yourself a lot of time at the airport with one simple step: making your luggage easy to spot. Having ways to identify your luggage can help you to get out of the baggage claim area quickly and off to your destination.

It can be difficult to sort your baggage from the rest of the travelers since so many luggage sets and suitcases are virtually identical in style, size and color. Just look around the next time you're waiting at the airport baggage carousel and count how many black canvas bags you see. It would be pretty easy to mistake someone else's bag for your own or vice versa, especially when everyone's in a hurry to get on with their trip.

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.

Taking Steps To Personalize Your Luggage

Common ways to make your luggage stand out from the crowd include tying a brightly colored ribbon or unique scarf around the handle. This can work well if the special addition is truly unique. However, simply using a colored ribbon could backfire if a couple of other people decide to do the same thing. In fact, a big bright red ribbon could cause more confusion by instilling a false sense of security that the proper bag has been selected. Always remember to double-check the tags no matter what.

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.

As an added precaution, you should also include your contact details inside each bag. While this won't help identify your bags right away, it will help travel personnel in the event your luggage is lost during the handling process. It will also serve as a confirmation of ownership if all external tags and identifiers are removed during transit.

A growing number of travelers have turned to personalized luggage tags as a way to keep better track of their belongings. You might be surprised at the variety of looks you can find and while possible, it's not likely your fellow travelers will choose the exact same ones. Embroidered luggage tags in particular have gained popularity recently but there are many options from which to choose. Because really unique ways to identify your luggage are key to finding your bags quickly, try to go for the most unusual tag you can find.
