How To Find Your Bag In A Busy Airport - Fast
Landing after a long flight only to face an endless carousel full of black bags can be stressful. You edge forward, keep your eyes peeled, and then - just as your suitcase appears - lose it in the blur. Here are some simple ways to make your luggage stand out, so you can grab it quickly and get on with your trip.
At Sweet Caroline's Cards & Gifts, we offer a number of ways to personalise your travel accessories so we're experts of making luggage stand out from the crowd. Here are our top tips.
1. Tie a Bright Ribbon to the Handle
One of the easiest tricks is to add a bold ribbon or band around the handle. Go for neon or patterned fabric that you will spot instantly. Just make sure it is tied on securely so it survives the journey.
2. Pick a Suitcase with Colour
If you are buying new luggage, avoid the sea of black and grey. Bright colours or fun patterns stand out from a distance and make your case far easier to identify.
3. Use a Coloured Luggage Strap
A colourful strap not only adds personality but also gives extra security if a zip happens to break. Look for one that can be personalised with your initials for even quicker recognition.
4. Add a Standout Luggage Tag
Choose a large or unusual luggage tag that you can spot easily. Personalising it with your name or contact details also helps if your bag goes missing.
5. Go High-Tech with an AirTag
Pop a small tracker such as an AirTag inside your case and connect it to your phone. You will know when your bag lands and appears on the belt. Just remember these devices are a backup - you still want your luggage to be easy to spot at a glance.
6. Wrap Your Handle in a Personalised Cover
A neoprene handle cover adds comfort and makes your bag unique at the same time. Even better, you can personalise a luggage handle cover with a name or short message for maximum visibility.
Final Tip
Pack something colourful inside your suitcase too, such as a scarf or wallet. If your case is opened by security or delayed in transit, it will still be easy to recognise as yours.
