Being exhausted from the flight and rather antsy about getting your luggage quickly I was wondering what are some good ideas to more easliy single out your (2) suitcases. I have seen some people who have tied things around their suitcases and others have painted on them....either pictures or simply various colors.
Any other suggestions?

My mom made fuzzy pom-pom things out of yarn for me years ago. I once made a joke about her making 8 pink ones for the family. Our bags now have pink pom poms.

I usually have the opposite effect. I get so much sleep and rest on planes, than when I get to pick up my luggage, I see it immediately as it passes by. Maybe I just had older luggage, so it stood out.

I will need to reconsider this next time I fly. Thanks for posting.

I have colored ribbon tied to mine, but another trick is to buy the ugliest, most hideously colored suitcase you can find. Then it's easy to spot in the sea of black luggage.

I have a Mickey Mouse suitcase for my daughter. Usually when hers is out, mine is, too, next to it.

I stuck a few band stickers on each side of mine suit cases. you know like those big ones they give away/sell at shows? it really is the only use I have ever gotten out of those things, plus gives your luggage a distinct hip with it vibe. you squares with your conformist baggage!

You must look so edgy and radical with your Limp Bizkit and Staind stickers.

Strands of duct tape on both sides of the luggage.

When i was in Thailand, I bought a suitcase the color of a yellow highlighter, so I'm not really worried.

Don't put anything on your bag that could get caught on something. Use tape. It sticks to the bag.

Anyone who travels should experience the wonders of a bag room before they go.

I use a nice Maori design luggage strap. It really stands out.

You guys don't travel much, huh?

Pretty SOP when flying to put something...anything...on your bag so you know its yours. Usually a simple ribbon on the handle will do. It's not rocket surgery to figure out which bag is yours. Rolling Eyes
