subject: Tips To Make Your Luggage Stand Out From The Crowd [print this page] You survived the baby crying all through your flight and have elbowed your way to the correct baggage carousel. After two extended layovers you're more than ready to grab your luggage and go, but where are your bags? All of the luggage looks the same! By making your luggage stand out from the crowd you can get your bags much quicker and be on your way. Here are some top tips for making your luggage stand out.
Pick luggage that isn't navy blue or black
Picking colorful luggage sounds like a no-brainer, but not many travelers actually do it. Buy luggage in a bright color or patterned design, such as red Victorinox Swiss Army Spectra luggage, so it's easy to see - even if you're stuck behind a row of people at baggage claim.
Pick an unconventional luggage shape, bag style, or design
Not only will unique-looking luggage, such as textured Samsonite Gravtec luggage, be easier to pick out of a crowd, it's less likely to get stolen too. If you're not too worried about fashion, you could even pick out an ugly suitcase to make it even easier to find.
Use colored luggage straps
There is a wide array of luggage straps now available that you can wrap around your suitcase or tie to bag handles. Look for bright, neon colors or standout designs for the luggage straps to have the maximum effect.
Use unique luggage tags
The person checking you into your flight might urge you to fill out the identifying tags the airline gives you, but you can buy your own set of unique luggage tags that you can attach to the bag on your own - or make your own! As a fun pre-trip activity pick up some card stock or cardboard and go to town decorating your very own personalized luggage tag.
Use colored tape around the handles
If you don't have a lot of time or money to buy a new suitcase or make arts and crafts, just use tape! Duct tape is available in pretty much any color these days for as little as $2 a roll. Just grab some tape and wrap some around your suitcase or luggage handles (just make sure security can still open up your bag).
Use stickers
Take tape to the next level and add some waterproof stickers to your luggage. You could add a funny bumper sticker or add one of those stickers that show the initials of the city you live in. No one will be able to confuse your suitcase for theirs, and you'll be able to find your luggage quickly and easily at baggage claim.
Follow one or more of these tips and your luggage will be sure to stand out in a crowd!
