What can I tie to suitcases to make them more visable and identifiable on the airport carousels?

I use 3 different colours of electricians tape and wrap them on the handle in a line, they can be spotted immediately.

Tie a small fossilised furry animal to the handle of your suitcase. Guaranteed not to be duplicated on the entire carousel, and therefore instantly recognisable!

use yellow tape around the handles.I saw some people with christmas tinsel hanging of the the handles, and coloured ribbon.

Somethng bright like red ribbon and remember to tie tightly so it doesn't come off during the flight

I paint my initial in tippex on each side of all my cases. I sometimes forget which one I took, but that helps a lot. All my family use the same initial - helps when we borrow each other's cases! I also have a distinctive rope which I tie around it. Serves a triple purpose because it also holds it together if the fastening breaks, and makes it look like a bum's suitcase with no valuables in!

Get some sticky back paper in a really bright colour cut some circles out of it and stick them to your cases back and front, works for me, good luck.

the gauider it looks...the more it stands out. just find some of the most unusual looking ribbons to tie on your luggage. i have bright pink luggage and it stood out alone from all the balck and blue bags you see.

either put some kind of stickers on it, paint it, or add a rainbow coloured strap to it, anything that makes it stand out from the mundane

You could try putting bright yellow tape on your luggage. The yellow will make it stand out from a distance so you can easily identify it.

I would try a ribbon of your favorite color or a big sticker of your favorite rock band or team. Something that it is noticeable but not tacky.

The most important thing make sure you have ID your bag and have all the current information including your cell phone number.

some people tie a bright coloured ribbon around the handle, but there is no guarantee that it will stay in tact!

coloured ribbons but not red (lots of people use red) and not yellow (I use yellow!)

colourful duck tape
large stickers
old rags or pieces of cloth

My family and I use matching strips of fabric. That way when we are claiming bags, anyone can pull bags off the carousel that match our family's colors. Just make sure before leave that all the suitcases you've pulled are indeed from your family and not someone else's.

Happy travels!

they now sell bands you can put around your baggage and you can have your name to them but I like the odd color ribbon ideas just keep in mind you don't want anything hanging off of your bags that can get stuck in a baggage carousal belt

you can tie an identification card to your suitcases, or put a piece of clothe like out of an old shirt and tie it around the handel of each suitcase or bag.
