Reigert2008 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Listening to @Matt's podcast from yesterday and he mentioned having a way to find your luggage in the terminal. We use decorative spandex luggage covers similar to the ones at the link below. Not only can you easily find your luggage in the hallway of the ship, the terminal, and at baggage claim, but they also have protected our luggage from getting stains and such on them. We started using them with our current luggage when we first got the set and on our first trip, the cover received a big mark on it (like it had rubbed against something), but our bag still looked new. We're now on our second set of covers, but the luggage still looks like new after 4 years and many flights. https://amzn.to/3F436eP - link to Amazon, I shortened it with Bitly bryresangel, Rene Desmarais, barbeyg and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttMutt Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I carry a magic marker and just mark something on the tag so it's easy to spot in the terminal when getting off the ship. In fact on the last one a woman had a similar looking suitcase to my girlfriend. I told her 3 times she had the wrong one and that it was mine and she basically ignored me till I held her wrist to stop her from walking off. He husband was trying to get her attention as well since he already had it and was 10 feet away waiting for her. I don't buy high end luggage because honestly if it holds stuff and closes it's good to me. No reason to spring for protectors as I will literally just hose out the ones I have anyway.

You can also order them with an added degree of security built-in security. Eliminate baggage claim shenanigans quickly and easily!

TXcruzer Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I just roll my own bags off the ship, eliminates the hassle. You only need to make it as far as the porters if you need some assistance. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I have purple luggage, always makes it easy to find..............having luggage with my face would be creepy and weird imho......not to mention probably a sigh of a sociopath.

teddy Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 We used to do similar things with our sea bags when going on or coming home from deployment. Anything to make it distinctive in the huge pile of bags. USCG Teacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
