One of the worst problems with traveling is to get to baggage claim and picking up the wrong bag. Whether someone takes your luggage or you pick up someone else’s bag, when you get to your destination, it’s a sinking feeling that you don’t have the right belongings. Here are some tips for making sure your check in luggage gets reconnected with you correctly.

One of the most effective methods to get the correct luggage is to position yourself at the carousel where the luggage emerges. You’ll be able to spot your luggage easily, especially if your bag is different. A unique color, like red, makes it easier to find your luggage among mostly black bags. If you don’t have time to select new luggage for this trip, use another accessory to help identify your bag quickly. Tie a bright scarf on the handle or use an ID tag that has some personality. Make sure to take off all old tags and to put your phone and address inside the ID tag.
Atlas Pink
Pink luggage is not very common, but it is chic and highly identifiable on the baggage carousel. Making sure you connect with your luggage at the end of your flight starts with labeling your luggage before your trip. If you have an AirTag, pop it in your luggage while you’re packing. It will help you track your bag easier if it isn’t on the right carousel. You may even realize your luggage got sent to the wrong destination if you don’t find the signal while you’re flying.
Olive Green
Olive green luggage is on trend this season because the color is so versatile and complementary to other colors in your wardrobe. Look for weekender bags in olive green that have plenty of compartments to store all the little things you want on your trip to look great. When you get to baggage claim and can’t find your luggage, don’t panic. Check to make sure you’re at the right place. Don’t wait to get help from airport staff.
Beautiful Shades of Blues
From light, pastel blue to dark, navy blue, luggage that comes in blue will also stand out amongst a sea of beige, black, and gray luggage. Blue is a great color for kids luggage with wheels or for adult backpacks. Treat your luggage as a necessary accessory that should be both functional and stylish. Hard-sided luggage is ideal for traveling on a plane because it will offer more protection against rough handling. Wheels on your luggage make it easier to move through the airport.
When traveling, always check the weight and size limitations of your luggage with the airline before packing. Prevent a headache at the airline when you find the bag is too big to be checked. Save money by using a carry-on that handles everything you need without being too big to take in the plane. Shop for luggage that suits your travel needs. Enjoy your trip when you have the right bag at your destination.
