LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is NOT THEIR luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p17KfaabnMatedU Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile... kzbin.info/www/bejne/an_JiWWNaamBbac These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon. Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees. Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers. Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape. You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle. Learn Half Windsor knot tying: It is the 2nd example in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmHcmWiogKdsoqc This knot does not loosen. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie. Example: “Owner 454-333-7878” No personal name necessary. No address necessary on the ribbon. Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color. Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece. Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case. If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible. Pleasant color combinations: Red, white and blue Chartreuse and purple and orange Orange and light blue Orange and yellow Gray and pink Green and yellow Red and Green Red and Gold Light blue and light green and white The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan Tip #2 PICTURE RECORD Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. Take a picture of the interior. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. You can show this picture to the searcher or attach a picture to your report for lost luggage. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights. Tip #3 INSIDE IDENTITY Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC Liner of the case WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape... To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape. Tip #4 HIDDEN IDENTITY Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show. Tip #5 ADDING UNIQUENESS Use 4 ribbons Add 1 designer ribbon colored duct taped handle Stencil SPRAY PAINT a 2” or smaller stencil letter or number or word or your initials to the suit case exterior surface in addition to using all the other ideas here. Stencil spray the BOTTOM OF THE CASE as well. Stencil spray paint a letter to the TOP ribbon. Use ribbons that are wider or more narrow than 1”. Put a travel sticker on the case. Tip #6 WEIGH YOUR OWN Scales accuracy varies at different airports. If you are even 1 pound over, you pay. So, regulate yourself. Found on Ebay, buy a HAND HELD DIGITAL SCALE It is less than $15. Tip #7 GPS TRACKING DEVICE Duct tape to an inside pocket a GSM GPS Tracking device. Find them on Ebay. Your iphone can tell you where your luggage is. Is it in another city? kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3vOhoaEfqemhpI HomingPIN tracker kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGqZcneoi9-br9U Gego Tracker kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3qTcoWketakY9k Worldwide Tracker ...GSM, Wifi, Bluetooth USB rechargeable Tip #8 OLD TAGS, YOUR ITINERARY Remove old trip tags before you arrive at the airport. Remove confusion. Put a copy of your trip itinerary in an outside pocket so the agent can redirect the bag. Ask the travel agent to send you copies. Photograph all travel documents using your cell phone. Tip #9 FLIGHT SAFETY Put laptops, cameras and jewelry in your CARRY-ON. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKveqqMjcZmpbc Tip #10 LET LUGGAGE FOLLOW YOU Choose non stop flights. Choose connecting flights of at least 90 minutes so luggage has time to be transferred to the next plane. Compare white luggage destination tag city code to your itinerary for accuracy. Tip #11 TAKE SCREEN SHOTS OF THESE TIPS Then share them with your friends. Include the Tube Video seen here also. Tip #12 PHOTOGRAPH THIS Your travel plan Vaccine Passport Hotel confirmations handwritten by you. Your luggage, inside and out. Include unusual words spray paint stenciled on luggage by you. Show a close up of ribbon colors. Your destination luggage tag, bar code tag Receipts for payment of trip. If you lose paper versions, you have a backup. Passcode lock your cell phone in case it is lost. Tip #13 LUGGAGE DESTINATION TAG Check the accuracy of the white luggage tag code against your itinerary. You may be sending your luggage to the wrong city.
