Some of the most common woes of modern travellers include:
- Flight delays and Cancellations
Language barrier (easily resolved now with Google Translate) - Health concerns such as food poisoning (As of now, you are in the pink of health)
- Scams and Thefts which include pickpocketing (Fingers crossed, not on this trip)
- Navigation Difficulties (You have your pocket wifi and Google Maps, you are good.)
- Lost / Delayed Luggage
While packing, you are quite sure that no matter what you can recognise your luggage. From the mutest of colourways to the outrageous – every piece of luggage looks the same. A flood of what-ifs comes through as each piece of luggage makes its round – what if someone took my luggage by mistake?
The post-altitude is messing with our heads. Rest is all we can think about. Regardless, we prioritise getting our luggage and fast forward to where the fun begins.
Cue: Luggage Identifiers
Luggage identifiers are personal add-ons to your luggage that make it uniquely yours. Other than expressing your personality, these identifiers enable you to spot from afar, which bag is yours. There are 3 ways in which identifiers can come in.
1. A VIBRANT COLOUR SHELL
In the world of muted tones, opting for a bold hue is sometimes the most straightforward thing to do. Most brands carry a wide range of factory colour options (and some even allowing customisation) that you can really, apply your personality in a paste.
2. LUGGAGE TAG
Back in the day when suitcases come in a handful of colours, the next best thing to identify yours is with a personalised tag. Old but gold, this is a simple hack that even the busiest of travellers can take 5 minutes of their day to pen their name and contact number (just in case, your luggage gets lost somewhere)
3. LUGGAGE BELT
TSA-approved luggage belt does more than assist you in identifying your suitcase. These also add another layer of security to holding all your belongings in – just in case, the zipper or the clips give way midair.
A sticky con: There is occasionally a mandated random check and a belt might become a huge hassle.
Each with its merit, the above 3 ways can go a long way to increase calm during your holiday. What if, you can combine the benefits of each?
Some brands allow customisation to your luggage shell. The most common would be your favourite colourway. However, there is occasionally an option to add a preferred name or text. These typically come at a premium (on top of an additional cost yikes). If you are lucky, you might find one that is included in the cost of your luggage.
