The Best Luggage Tags

By Geoffrey Morrison

No matter what kind of bag you carry on your travels, a luggage tag will help you identify it quickly and get it back should it go astray.

A good luggage tag will be strong enough to survive airline baggage tossers and distinctive enough to stand out in a sea of black suitcases. We chose several that combine toughness and visual flair and that suit a wide range of budgets and styles.

All the luggage tags we selected should stay put through multiple adventures and be recognizable at a glance. But we also have options for a range of personal styles and travel needs.

We have picks that will either shield your contact information from view or display it openly, that are brightly colored or muted, and that hold a business card or let you write in your information. We also looked at what electronic smart luggage tags can and can’t do —and why most people are better off skipping them.

The research

A luggage tag for almost any trip: ovener silicone luggage tag, also consider: famavala 2x luggage tags, the best metal tag: cpacc aluminum luggage tags, best to stand out in a crowd: art of travel neoprene designer luggage tags, should you get a smart luggage tag, how we picked and tested, the competition.

Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag

Strong and easy to see.

Rugged silicone and a metal cable mean this tag (which comes two to a pack) may well outlive your luggage. The brightly colored case displays its owner’s name but keeps other personal information out of sight.

Buying Options

Get this if: You travel a lot and want a hard-wearing tag with easy-to-spot vivid colors that also keeps contact information—except for your name—under wraps.

Why it's great: The Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag has everything we’re looking for in a basic luggage tag. It is simple and inexpensive, and thanks to its tough materials and strong construction it will likely last as long (or maybe even longer) than your luggage. The silicone body seems nearly indestructible and is available in six bright colors as well as black and gray (you get two tags per pack). While other tags also feature metal cables, this tag has a metal grommet to keep the cable from eventually wearing through the silicone case.

A narrow window in the silicone lets only your name be visible—your address and contact information isn’t flashed to your fellow passengers.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: To fully access the info card, you have to unscrew and remove the metal strap. This lets the card slide out of the case. Most luggage tags we tested secure their info card in this way. It’s not a difficult or time-consuming process, but it is an extra step compared with tags that display all of your information openly. Still, for someone who wants to keep their contact information out of view, the extra step is worth it. On one of our samples, the metal grommet was loose, but on our second set they were fine.

Colors: orange, black, blue, green, red, yellow, purple, gray

Famavala 2x Luggage Tags

Stylish and reasonably rugged.

The plastic “leather” body of these tags is almost as strong as silicone and keeps your personal information out of view. If you prefer distinctive patterns over neon-bright colors, these are a good choice.

Get this if: You want tags that are tough like the Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag and also keep your contact information shielded from casual passers-by, but you find the Ovener’s colors just too bright.

Why it's great: The Famavala 2x Luggage Tags are almost as tough as the Ovener, but their synthetic-leather bodies come in a range of decorative patterns instead of solid colors. The four sets of designs incorporate elements of old maps, space scenes, and psychedelic florals. As with the Ovener, each tag has a metal cable that is unlikely to break or wear out. But while the Ovener’s cable passes through a metal grommet, this tag’s cable passes through its body directly and could wear through it over time.

All your info is behind a small magnetically secured flap, hidden from casual view. Unlike the Ovener, the Famavala hides your name as well as your other personal information. You can view that information without taking apart the tag, however. If you’re looking for something distinctive and that will last, but isn’t so Day-Glo as the Ovener, this is a great option.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Though more ornate than the Ovener, these tags are not quite as noticeable from a distance. The metal cable could conceivably, if yanked hard enough, rip right through the narrowest part of the plastic body.

Styles: about half a dozen multi-colored designs

CPACC Aluminum Luggage Tags

All-metal toughness.

These metal luggage tags are as tough as tags made of silicone and hide everything but your name. They are more likely to scratch either paint or people, though.

Get this if: You’re metal, or you want your luggage tag to be. Like the Ovener, these tags hide your personal information (except for your name) from view and are tough enough to stand up to years of wear and tear.

Why it's great: Generally speaking, we’re not big fans of metal luggage tags. Their hard edges can catch on fabric and could scratch paint or people. (These aren’t necessarily likely scenarios, just more likely than with our picks made of silicone or plastic.) If you do opt for metal tags, we suggest going with CPACC Aluminum Luggage Tags . Each has an aluminum alloy body and a stainless steel cable that feels very secure. They offer a nearly identical feel and design as metal tags that cost several times more.

This tag comes in sets of either two or five tags (all the same color) and a set of seven tags (each a different color). It’s offered in a variety of hues, including bright options for visibility on the luggage carousel as well as ones that would blend into their surroundings.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Like the Ovener tag, this tag forces you to unscrew the strap’s clasp and take apart the tag to read the card inside. This isn’t some huge, laborious task, but it does take a few steps.

Colors: red, black, blue, gold, green, pink, silver

Art of Travel Neoprene Designer Luggage Tags

A whimsical tag.

This simple, stretchy tag comes in nine designs by several artists and can add some beauty and playfulness to your luggage ID.

Get this if: You find other tags boring and want something artsy to decorate your luggage. Also, if you prefer a tag that shows your information at a glance, instead of hiding it behind a cover.

Why it's great: The Art of Travel Designer Luggage Tags are probably the most lively looking luggage tags we tested. Nine designs are available from six artists in a variety of styles. You wrap the single-piece neoprene tag around the suitcase handle (or elsewhere) and tuck the label end through the loop end, pulling it taut. The neoprene is unlikely to tear, and the edges are well-stitched. It might not hold up for as long as our silicone or metal picks, but it should still last for several years of travel.

The information portion is fairly simple--it’s just a small, clear-plastic card in a clear-plastic pocket that’s always visible. Because the card, too, is clear, you can still see the design through the card. Also, the card seems to stick slightly to its holder, which makes it stay more securely.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Unlike our other picks, this one doesn’t hide your personal information. But as the supplied info card is clear plastic, the words can be hard to distinguish from the background pattern at a distance, even though your info isn’t hidden. There’s also no closure to the card pocket, although we didn’t have issues with the card falling out. The loop-through design feels fairly secure, though not as secure as a screw-on metal cable or a buckled strap.

Styles: about nine different designs from about half a dozen artists (designs and artists can change periodically)

We think a luggage tag containing a card with information printed on it is the best option for most travelers. There are, however, also a variety of smart luggage tags—that is, electronic devices meant to help you locate your luggage when it’s lost. After surveying the different types of smart tags out there, though, we didn’t find any that work well enough for us to recommend them for regular use on your luggage.

A common type of smart tag uses Bluetooth tracking to locate your luggage. In our research, we found the best Bluetooth trackers are the Apple AirTag (for iOS users) and the Tile system (for Android users). We also liked the Tile Slim and the Tile Sticker. These small, battery-powered devices pair with your phone. When the tracker gets far enough from your phone to break the connection, the Find My or Tile app notes where you were when it lost contact—the idea being that this is the “last seen” location. If you go back to where the phone last “saw” the tracker, hopefully you’ll be able to actually retrieve the tracker (and whatever it’s attached to).

The advantage of the AirTag over the Tile—as well as over any smart luggage tag—comes in what happens next. You can track it via Apple’s Find My app, which uses the Bluetooth in every iPhone, iPad, and Mac that’s on the network to passively and anonymously find lost iPhones, Macs, and, yes, AirTags. In practical terms, this means if you leave your AirTag-equipped suitcase on an airport shuttle, for example, as long as someone else on the shuttle has an Apple device, the suitcase’s location will be reported to you (and the person with the iPhone or other Apple device who identified it will never know). Although Tile’s trackers work the same way, they do so on a far smaller scale—given that about a billion Apple devices in the world are opted into the Find My network, it’s much more likely that the shuttle rider one seat back has an iPhone than a Tile. And the odds against a smart luggage tag’s tracker having a user network anywhere near as large as Apple’s are, well, astronomical.

The other smart tag options

In addition to Bluetooth trackers, there are a few other types of smart tags out there, none of which we recommend.

There are smart tags with QR codes or unique website addresses that claim to be smartphone-friendly. We felt these were the exact opposite, requiring the person who finds your luggage to be smartphone or Web literate, which, although likely, is not guaranteed. Also, it adds an extra, and in our opinion unnecessary, step between the person who finds your luggage and your info. If you don’t want to put your home address where everyone can see it, don’t: A phone number or email address should suffice.

There are also a handful of RFID luggage tags on the market, but like the QR code and other smart luggage tags it requires the finder of the lost luggage to have technical knowledge and, in the case of RFID, a special reader. Some airlines use RFID to track luggage, but unless you only fly with that airline and you’re positive the tag you’re getting works with their equipment, it seems an unnecessary cost for something that will rarely help.

And now for the creepy bit. There are tracking devices that you can use to find your luggage anywhere. These devices typically cost over a hundred dollars and require a monthly fee, often $25 to $50. This is because instead of connecting to your phone via Bluetooth, they connect with cell towers directly, which costs money. They’re essentially a smartphone, without the phone. Or the smarts.

In addition to being expensive, they also have the potential to be extraordinarily creepy. Each company selling these devices mentions that it can be used to track other things. Like your car, or your purse … or someone else’s car, or someone else’s purse. The ease to which these could be misused to track someone’s movement gives us significant unease about recommending any product of this type.

Given that there are countless luggage tags on the market, we stuck with the best-reviewed and most popular options from Amazon and well-known travel companies. There are plenty of choices to fit specific styles, but we were looking for a few baseline features important in any luggage tag. For instance, we felt that a sturdy tag was a must, given that it would have to survive being grabbed by not just you but also baggage handlers, cabbies and ride-hail drivers, and hotel employees. The fail point for nearly every tag is the strap or cable that connects it with the luggage, so we looked for a strap that both was firmly attached and could withstand regular use without breaking.

We picked options for tags to stand out or blend in—whether you like one or the other will depend on your personal style preferences. We were split on how important it is to hide your extended contact information, such as anything other than your name. Most of our picks ended up hiding this information from casual view, but we also have an option for people who want their info freely visible.

We sorted through more than 40 tags to figure out the best mix of visually interesting, sturdy, and otherwise worthy-seeming tags. Once the 14 most promising candidates were in hand, I tugged and smashed all our finalists, looking for potential fail points. Generally speaking, as mentioned above, where the strap meets the body is the most likely fail point. In some cases, it’s the strap itself. All our picks have straps that are as solid and secure as their particular material and type will allow. Which is to say, all leather straps will wear, and all plastic straps will likely become more brittle with age. Metal cables are the strongest, but they too might snap or even wear through the body of the tag. It’s something to keep an eye on if you have these tags for several years. If you want something indestructible, the tags with metal straps should wear the best. (Or you can get your own to add to any tag here.)

I also set up and tested the old Tile Pro and Slim to see if they’d work with luggage tags. Since Bluetooth range will vary significantly with how much material or walls are between you and the Tile, your specific mobile device, and so on, we didn’t try to verify Tile’s claims on range, other than that in the real world it will be much less than the ranges Tile claims.

Arlo Skye offered a leather tag with a comparable price to our former leather pick from Tumi, but it was available in a more sedate black, gray, and beige. As of fall 2023, the black and beige are back in stock, though the gray is still sold out.

The Talonport Bag Tag seemed as durable as the CPACC Aluminum tag and came with both a leather strap and a metal one. It also has a lifetime replacement guarantee. However, it was a lot more expensive than the CPACC.

The Tufftaag has sharper metal edges than the other metal options we considered, which didn’t seem ideal. This was a former pick of ours, and in our long-term testing we found that it is as rugged as it seems. It also has space for multiple address cards, which one tester found convenient. For most people, though, the soft silicone of the Ovener is the better option, and if you still want metal, the CPACC is just as good but less expensive.

We used to recommend tags from Tumi and Incase, but both have been discontinued.

You know that feeling when you’re finally in the baggage claim area of your destination airport and a million identical suitcases pass you by — leaving you with no idea if any of them are yours?

Playing luggage bingo at the end of a long journey is never fun, and without an easily identifiable luggage tag, you could be playing it for some time to come.

Always tag your luggage, folks! Without a tag, your personal items could end up in someone else’s hands — or worse still, in another country. Name them to claim them!

Here’s how to make sure your luggage ends up in the right hands: yours.

Your luggage tags should be several things: easy to read, easy to recognize, and well-attached to your baggage. After all, your tag is of no use to you if it comes off before it’s even reached the hold.

Easy To See

If your tag isn’t visible enough to be seen as it spins along the carousel, is it even worth having? Whether it’s brightly colored or just oversized, visibility is vital when it comes to identifying your luggage.

Easy To Read

The other great reason for strapping some sort of ID on your suitcase is that it offers a great way to name your luggage as your own. Your tags should clearly display your name, contact number or email, or other personal details.

Robust and Hard-wearing 

Let’s be honest: airport handlers don’t treat our bags with as much love and care as we’d like. Whether it’s a designer suitcase or a much-loved old rucksack, they all get thrown onto the plane and off again without a second thought for their well-being.

This presents a risk for our luggage tags, too. All that rough and tumble can lead to the demise of delicate tags, and thin or paper-based tags can easily become completely separated from your luggage.

Hot Tip: Go for tags made of more durable materials like plastic, metal, or leather — and forget about those paper ones the airline gives you.

Well-secured

The way you attach your tag is also important. Keeping your tag firmly fixed to your luggage is kind of the whole point, so forgo flimsy materials and stick to heavyweight attachment pieces like leather or even steel — and find options that are flexible but firm.

Completely Unique

Whether you want a 5-inch Darth Vader overseeing your belongings or something more low-key, individuality is important. Find tags that look a bit different, and don’t just choose the one the suitcase manufacturer recommends — or you’ll soon find yourself trying to locate your case in a sea of identical ones, all with matching tags on them.

Better Than Anyone Else’s

Yes, we’re going there! Sometimes you need to step up your game to remain unique. By this we mean, it’s absolutely OK to show just how cool you are by securing a super-duper, tech-heavy luggage tag to your case next time you travel 🙂

Smart luggage tags are an actual thing — and they can help you locate your luggage by using Bluetooth (or other mystical tracking devices) that let you keep tabs on your tags and luggage at all times.

Not all luggage tags are created equal — which in this case is good because you want yours to be special, unique, and oh-so-easy to spot from a mile away.

When it comes to practicality and durability, some are miles ahead of others. Here are some of the very best luggage tags your money can buy:

1. Funky Design Tag for the Colorful Traveler

Shacke initial luggage tag.

Big, bold, bright, and rubbery, these tags can be personalized to feature your own initial . Waiting to see your special letter whiz past you on the luggage carousel adds a touch of child-like excitement to your baggage collection experience.

Not only are these available in this beautiful green color, but they also have an awesome rubberiness about them, making them nice to fiddle with while you wait to check your baggage in.

Shacke offers these luggage tags in a few other colors, too. And just to be certain your personalized tag doesn’t become separated from your bag, these little beauties are attached using a bendable metal chain that’s guaranteed to stay put.

On the reverse side, there is the usual space for inputting your name, address, phone number, etc. — so should your luggage go somewhere without you, it can easily be reunited.

What We Like

• Bright and easy to spot on the carousel

What We Don’t Like

• The ID card can fall out easily if bent

2. Luggage Tags for the Hardcore Traveler

Tufftaag travel id bag tag.

• The metal can bend with reasonable force

3. Luggage Tags for the Budget Luxury Traveler

Made from eco-friendly polyurethane leather, these tags have a good-length strap for easy attachment and an impressively strong stainless steel buckle that won’t come off without a fight.

If you prefer not to share your name and address with your fellow travelers, this tag comes complete with a discreet privacy flap — keeping your personal details tucked away as your suitcase makes its journey around the airport.

Of course, the privacy flap will slow you down on the carousel, since you’ll have to peek to check that it is your suitcase. But the upscale look of these tags is so impressive, you may want to upgrade to business class before you board!

• Made from vegan leather
• Colors shown online can differ to the color of the tag

4. For the Colorful and Privacy Conscious  Traveler

Shacke luggage tags with full back privacy cover.

• Personal information is concealed unless deliberately accessed
• Tags are quite heavy

5. For the Tech-savvy Traveler

Tile mate essentials bluetooth tracker 4 pack.

Want to look supercool when you collect your luggage? Then let us present the Tile Mate Essentials Bluetooth tracker set. This is a set of tags that can be attached to your luggage, slipped inside your wallet, or even stuck to an item, such as your cell phone.

For locating luggage, simply attach the Tile to your bag and activate the app on your smartphone. Once the Tile is within 100 feet of your Bluetooth signal, it will locate your bag and announce it to you with a rather loud sound.

The Tile Tags come with a precut hole for attaching to your luggage — but these tags are so advanced, you can also just drop them inside your bag and the tracker will still be able to find them . You’ll look like a rockstar around the carousel as your phone beeps to announce the arrival of your luggage!

These aren’t just for travel either — you can use them around the home or office to locate your phone or other easy-to-misplace items, and Tile can even tell you where you last left something.

Despite being a great bit of tech, you would still need some form of alternative luggage tag so airport staff can identify your name and address if there’s a mistake with handling your luggage.

• Handy for locating your luggage when you can’t see it
• Requires app location services to be activated all the time

Hot Tip: You can also consider tossing an Apple AirTag into your luggage! We offer 10 ways to use an Apple AirTag in our detailed review of the design, setup, and features.

Attached to your case or bag using strong wire loops, your tag should always stay safely where you put it, and the overlapping design of the tag keeps your personal details safe from prying eyes.

Looking every bit as sleek as a high-speed train, these metal tags are a fashionable accessory that’s as practical as they come.

• On the pricey side for luggage tags

7. For the Well-connected Traveler

Dynotag web enabled smart aluminum convertible luggage id tag.

Made from anodized aluminum, the Dynotag is waterproof and weatherproof, and the strong metal loop will ensure it stays firmly attached to your luggage. While this may not be the most easily identifiable tag on the carousel, it is without a doubt one of the most tech-savvy tags out there.

Having no personal details in sight helps protect you from identity theft. And an easily set up find function helps locate your suitcase using GPS-assisted tag view, which can access logs and maps — and even email you the location of your luggage as you travel.

For a luggage tag, this offers an impressive balance of security and functionality. The manufacturers claim their patented DynoIQ technology is some of the best on the market when it comes to locating your belongings, and we think it looks pretty awesome, too.

• Protects against identity theft
• The metal material can bend

8. Luggage Tags for the Smart Traveler

• Finders are motivated to report your found bag with a reward
• Doesn’t have a built-in GPS tracker

9. Luggage Tags for the Executive Traveler

Talenport leather luggage tags.

These leather tags aren’t chipped and won’t work with your Bluetooth, but they will look super smart when attached to your suitcase. Made from genuine leather, these add an upscale feel to your overnight bag, making you look like a frequent flyer with class.

The privacy flap comes as standard, so you can hide your personal details from fellow travelers and airport staff as you make your way on your next executive trip around the world.

Also, we think the Talonport logo looks like something you’d find on a premium car brand, and the red stripe gives an air of exclusivity that sets it apart from plain leather tags. It might be a bit showy, but it’s still a hard-wearing luggage tag that comes with a lifetime guarantee .

• Made from genuine leather
• Your personal information is easily accessible

Or, in that unforeseen moment when you get up and leave without grabbing your bag, a secure and noticeable luggage tag can help you reunite with your baggage.

Based on consumer reviews and travel expert insights, U.S. News compiled this list of the best luggage tags for your weekender bag , carry-on luggage or checked suitcase.

The TFG community has been abuzz with tips and recommendations for luggage tracking devices and tags, and many now see them as an absolute must-have travel item. Find out why you need this travel accessory, and take a look at the top reader recommendations!

Best Luggage Tag Options for Travel

Table of contents.

Air travel can, at times, be unpredictable, and with all the news of lost luggage and delayed or canceled flights, readers are taking matters into their own hands with travel luggage tags and trackers. 

Why Travel with a Luggage Tag?

While cute luggage tags certainly spice up your suitcase’s look, they’re not always the most effective option if your bag were to get lost or stolen. Readers highly suggest putting a smart tag inside your suitcase so that you’ll always be able to track it with your phone and know exactly where it is. 

You could also opt for a durable travel luggage tag to secure onto the outside of your suitcase, where you can include information for others to contact you with. Practical luggage tags will be made of durable materials like aluminum and provide a reliable way to write down your contact information. Some options even have QR codes for people to scan if they find your lost suitcase!    

Many readers do both – use a smart tracker on the inside and a durable luggage bag tag on the outside. 

How Does a Luggage Tracker Work?

Luggage trackers, or smart luggage tags , are a hot topic in the TFG community, and many readers can’t recommend them enough! 

A luggage tracker is a small device that you link to your smartphone and then place inside your luggage (or on any item you want to keep track of). Then, through either GPS, Bluetooth, or Wifi, depending on the device, you can watch your suitcase be loaded onto the airplane, head to baggage claim, check in on it at your hotel, or be notified if it leaves your vicinity for whatever reason – all in real-time! 

Because they’ve been such a lifesaver for readers who have lost their luggage and found it due to these devices, many now put them in their purses and other belongings, too, especially when traveling to places with a higher risk of theft or if it’s something they commonly misplace! 

You’ll definitely want to be adding one of these reader favorites to your next packing list!

Best Luggage Trackers

Shop Amazon: 1 Pack | 4 Pack

Apple AirTags

Apple’s AirTag luggage tracker is SO popular with travelers. You simply connect it to the Find My app, and it’ll track any belonging with incredible precision – even if you’re on a different continent! As long as someone else’s iPhone is close to your AirTag, encrypted Bluetooth technology will help you track your belonging in the app. 

You can also have the AirTag play a loud sound to find your bag in a sea of others or put it in lost mode to get notified of its location whenever it’s detected in the Find My network. As a bonus, it’s both water and dust-resistant, and the battery lasts over a year, so it’s perfect for long trips or just day-to-day use! Note that these are only compatible with Apple devices. 

One reader raves, “I have a total of eight now. I have them on anything of value while traveling. Even bought a case with a slot for the AirTag for my AirPods. They are my number one must-have travel item now. Sometimes the 4-pack goes on sale!” Another says, “Buy. The. AirTags! A $27 purchase prevented me from losing over $600 in belongings.” 

Keep them handy in a leather luggage tag keychain !

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 

For Samsung users, the Galaxy SmartTag is the one for you. Very similar to the Apple version, this luggage tracker tag will help you locate your items through the SmartThings app. 

It’ll lead you right to your suitcase as long as it’s within 390 feet, or if it’s close by, you can use the ring button to follow the sound. If your bag is out of range, you can tap into the Galaxy Find network to track it! The battery lasts up to a year, depending on the frequency of use, and users say it’s easy to change. 

A reader shares, “Last month, I successfully used four Samsung Galaxy SmartTags in two different airports in Europe to track my bags. I was able to see how one bag got separated from the others in Barcelona and watch it make its way to the plane after the others arrived. It works the same way as AirTags, just with Samsung devices to ping off of.”

We’ve put together a helpful guide to get you started on choosing the right travel luggage for your next trip!

TilePro Travel Tags for Luggage (iOS and Android compatible) 

The Tile luggage tracker is another popular pick that works with both iOS and Android devices. These cool luggage tags have a sleek look and a 400 ft Bluetooth range that offers precise tracking, and the Community Find option will help you pinpoint your item’s location when it’s far out of range with the help of any phone with a Tile app that’s close to your Tile!  

They also have a QR code on them, so if it’s attached to your wallet or keys, others can simply scan the code to get your contact info. They’re water-resistant and have a solid battery life of one year. 

A reader says, “Have used this for years. Pairs with Bluetooth on your phone. I have three Tiles, and each has a different ring with no interference. Great product for those, like me, who misplace keys constantly!”

ATUVOS Airport Luggage Tag

The Atuvos Bluetooth tracker for luggage is an excellent budget option with great reviews. Stash it in the inside of your suitcase or clip it to any important item to track it when it’s up to 400 ft away, or use the Find My app (on an iPhone) to view its most recent locations. 

This Atuvos tracker is only compatible with Apple devices, and just like the AirTags, it can use any other Apple device in the vicinity of this tracker to let you know where your item is! It’s compact, durable, water-resistant, and has a loud and clear ring so you can find it easily when it’s nearby. The battery will easily last you a year, and it’ll remind you when it needs replacing. 

A user says, “This thing is awesome! This gives timely ‘left behind’ alerts and has VERY reliable community find, given it has access to Apple’s Find My network. Will be buying more of these for sure.”

 If you’re in the market for a hardside luggage , review these top reader recommendations! 

Pebblebee Tracking Device for Luggage

The Pebblebee Bluetooth luggage tag is another great pick for both iOS and Android users. It has an impressive Bluetooth range of 500 ft, but with the Pebblebee app or Find My network, your lost item can be tracked from any distance! It’s super compact, water-resistant, emits a loud buzzer to guide you to your items, and lasts up to six months before having to charge it again. 

Users say it’s precise and really easy to use. A traveler shares, “Used it for my vacation luggage and felt confident! The app is super cool too.” 

Tracki GPS Luggage Tracker

Tracki’s mini GPS tracker for luggage is incredibly accurate and will show you every single location it’s been to and exactly where it is in real-time, no matter the distance. An international SIM card is included, so even if it’s in another country, you’ll know exactly where your Tracki is. The one caveat is that there’s a $10-$20 monthly fee, but users say it’s worth it for the peace of mind — plus, you can always deactivate it whenever you’re not traveling. 

The battery will last anywhere from five days to 75 days, depending on whether you’re tracking consistently or only occasionally. You can also choose to be notified when the tracker starts to move, there’s low battery, an SOS button is pressed, or it enters or leaves a Geo-fence that you’ve set! 

A traveler reports, “I used this luggage GPS tracker on my trip to Iceland and the device worked well. I was able to track it at the connecting airport in the US and final destination both ways without issues. Had no issues leaving this on for 24 hours plus. Overall would recommend this device to track checked luggage.”

Shop Amazon: Chipolo One | Chipolo Spot

Chipolo One & One Spot Airport Luggage Tags

The Chipolo ONE and Chipolo ONE Spot trackers will show you your suitcase’s location on a map when it’s out of Bluetooth range, which is 200 ft, and can ring to help you spot it when it is in range! Many users compare them to the Apple Airtags, saying they’re a bit less expensive, a little louder, and have a keyring hole built in. 

Chipolo ONE uses the Chipolo app, which is compatible with both Apple and Android devices, while the Chipolo ONE Spot uses the Find My app, which is only compatible with Apple devices.  Both of them are sturdy, water resistant, and have a long battery life that lasts up to a year. Another really great feature is that if you ever misplace your phone, you can double press the Chipolo to ring it! 

A user shares, “This makes a loud beeping noise to locate and works very well with the Find Me app on iOS. I tested this out with my luggage to track down where it was after landing and was easily able to locate it.”

Best Luggage ID Tags

Dynotag Sentry Series Solid Metal Luggage ID Tag

It’s always a good idea to have a luggage tag outside of your suitcase just in case it gets misplaced during your travels. ID tags for luggage also make it easier for you to identify your bag, among many others! 

Dynotag’s unique luggage tags include this SuperTag ID , which features a custom QR code that’ll bring up your contact information when someone scans it. The luggage tag strap is made of steel, and the tag is made of aluminum, so you can rest assured that it’s not going anywhere! While you can’t track this luggage tag remotely, you’ll be automatically notified via email whenever the tag is scanned with the IP address and location that it was scanned from.

A traveler says, “I really like this concept of smart ID tags where I could update the address at my destination from my phone. If my bags miss the connections, I have one less thing to worry about while rushing from one gate to another!”

Dynotag Smart Recovery Luggage ID Tags

This Smart Recovery Tag is another cool luggage tag option to keep your suitcase secure, as well as a host of others things you might misplace. It features a customizable QR code that luggage handlers or good samaritans can scan to contact you, and just like the previous DynoTag, you’ll be notified of the scanner’s IP address and location via email. 

There’s also a web address for people who don’t have a smartphone. Readers love luggage tags like these because they don’t require batteries, Bluetooth, or any apps, so they’re easy for anyone to use and incredibly dependable! 

One user shares more, “I like the idea that only someone who really has a ‘need to know (that is, who has found and wants to return something I’ve lost!) can see my contact data. We’ll be using them on luggage as well as on our keys. I really like that these tiny tags will stay neat, new-looking, and unobtrusive. And I love the idea that I can easily alter my info on their website anytime I like. Well worth the modest price!” 

Check out TFG readers’ recommendations for the most functional & durable luggage sets that fit any budget!

Ovener Aluminum Metal Luggage Tags

If you want to keep things simple and classic, these Ovener aluminum luggage tags get the job done! With these tags, you just write your info directly onto the inner blank luggage tag and then slide it into the cover. It’ll only show your name for easy identification and hide all of your other information. 

And with their stainless steel luggage tag straps and aluminum covers, they’re built to last! 

One traveler reports, “I love that these tags keep your information private, and the bright colors helped me identify my luggage quickly! They were much more durable than I expected—they made it through 10 days of travel through four countries in Europe on planes, trains, taxis, and tour busses.”

I started putting an Air Tag in my luggage for the first time this year. I have been carry on only for decades now. However, you never know if suddenly the overhead bins are full and they insist on checking your bag! Now they cannot say they don’t know where your bag is when you deplane. Air Tag to the rescue! I also recently changed my luggage tag to one that has a metal cord. No flimsy strap that accidentally gets pulled off! Thanks for all the ways we can better keep track of our luggage!

Love my airtags! I have 5 now (gave the other 3 to my daughter). I store the battery in its case (on Amazon) so I have fresh batteries when I’m ready to travel.

Hi, great overview! I was wondering whether to place my Apple AirTag in my checked-in luggage, however what always stopped me was the fear that it has a battery, and all batteries are prohibited in the checked-in luggage, due to fire safety. Are the trackers than exempt from this rule? Thank you!

Hi Eva, that’s a great question. Lots of our readers have traveled with their apple AirTags in their checked luggage and no one has reported back that they’ve had any issues.

But to get the best advice we would also recommend checking directly with your airline.

Happy travels!

If it’s a lithium ion battery then no, you can’t leave it in your checked luggage–lithium ions are the batteries that can start a fire. If it’s not, you’re OK. I have to remove the lithium battery from the charger on my Away suitcase. But definitely check with your airline!

The best luggage tags of 2024, according to experts

After a long travel day, baggage claim is the last place anyone wants to be. While you can’t control how quickly your bag comes out or whether it arrives on the carousel, you can help yourself find it more easily (or get it back if it’s missing) with a luggage tag. While these small accouterments are usually sold with your suitcase or scribbled in a frenzy on a paper airline option, a quality luggage tag can help protect your belongings and privacy.

To help you find the right tag for your suitcase, we consulted travel experts and NBC Select staff on their favorites.

The best luggage tags of 2024.

Below, we rounded up expert-recommended luggage tags that stand the test of time and some NBC Select staff favorites.

Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag

Silicone Luggage Tag

Paul Healy and Mark Barnes, who run the travel blog Anywhere We Roam like that these luggage tags have a display window for your name, but still hide other personal information. To access your contact details, you simply unscrew the ring and slide the card out.

Vera Bradley Luggage Tag

NBC Select editor Lindsay Schneider bought a water-resistant version of this luggage tag ten years ago and still swears by it. “I like the vibrant patterns because I am never mistaking my bag for someone else's, it is easy to spot from far away,” she says.

While McAlpin cautioned against using a tag that shows all your information, we think this cotton option is a stylish addition to pair with your Vera Bradley bag or any other colorful luggage .

Linnea Design Luggage Tags

Linnea Design Luggage Tag

McAlpin likes these affordable colorful luggage tags that feature detailed depictions of tourist destinations on their front side, like the Eiffel tour , sailboats in Puget Sound , camels in the Cairo desert and more . The tags keep your address tucked away via its tri-fold insert and are made of pliable plastic.

Teskyer Luggage Tags

Teskyer Luggage Tag, 3 Pack

These bestselling luggage tags, which have a 4.6-star rating from over 8,000 reviews on Amazon, are made from a polyurethane leather and are durable enough for long-term use, according to the brand. Each set is sold with six duplex printed information cards, about the size of a debit or business card, and each tag has a flap cover to protect your personal information.

ComfiTime Luggage Tags

Similar in style to Ovener luggage tags, this set is made of durable silicone in multiple colors that’s strong enough to survive airline baggage tossers, according to the brand. Each tag has a stainless steel loop with a screw on collar that keeps your tag attached to your luggage. The privacy window, a feature McAlpin recommends looking out for, displays just the traveler’s name while keeping other information hidden.

How we picked the best luggage tags.

Luggage tags shouldn’t break or show too much of your personal information, according to Anne McAlpin , a travel expert and author of “ Pack It Up: The Essential Guide To Smart Travel .” With that in mind, we sought out options that met the following criteria:

• Material: We looked for tags made of a flexible, but durable material (like silicone) and avoided hard plastic. “Hard plastic tends to break when you check it,” says McAlpin.
• Adequate coverage: Your personal information shouldn’t be visible for anyone to see while standing in line, says McAlpin, who likes luggage tags that cover your personal information. For more details on what to write (and not write) on your luggage tag, see below .
• Sets, or multiple tags: The experts we spoke to recommend using multiple tags on each bag, should one fall off in transit. We looked at options that are sold as a set, or under $15 if sold individually.

What to write on your luggage tag

Whatever you do, don’t put your address on your luggage tag, says McAlpin. “You don't want to advertise that you're not at home, especially with all the fraud these days,” she says. And don’t put your home phone number either so they don’t call your house before robbing it, says McAlpin.

McAlpin recommends putting your first initial and last name and your cell phone number, so that whoever finds your baggage can call you. If you have access to email while traveling, it’s worth writing your email address too. Most importantly, travelers should ask a friend or family member at home to be their spot person if they’re unreachable. “Add the cellphone number and email address of your back home person who has a copy of your itinerary,” she says. “So if you're on your way to Europe and your bag is stuck in Chicago, they can be calling your back home family member and they'll say ‘oh yeah, they're headed to Paris and they're headed to this hotel.”

If you’re headed to the airport and don’t have time to order a luggage tag, a piece of string works too. “Tie ribbon around your luggage,” says McAlpin. “Tie red ribbon, Christmas ribbon, something different and do it on each handle so that everyone can see it coming and going.”

Fortunately, this could be a problem of the past once you start using luggage tags.

15 Best Luggage Tags for Airline Travel

Luggage tags are a small but mighty piece of gear that can keep your items safe while traveling. Here’s a list to help you find the best luggage tag for you.

If you’re bringing luggage, you don’t want to lose it. If the worst should happen and your bag ends up missing, a luggage tag is an excellent way to ensure it comes back to you. Even if you only head to the airport with a travel backpack or daypack, adding identification to your checked bag or carry-on is a good idea to ensure it doesn’t end up in the wrong place.

This list will cover many types of luggage tags, from classic-looking leather options to modern models that can carry a tracking device. Before choosing the best luggage tag for you, it’s best to determine what pack you’re taking and what you want from your identification.

Do you want something vibrant that will stick out in the baggage line, something sleek that will blend in with your pack, something classic you can write on, or something that can accommodate modern technology? Once you’ve figured that out, it’s time to dive in!

Why We Like It: It folds to keep your personal details concealed.

What You Should Know: Subtle colorways can be hard to see.

When searching for the best luggage tags to meet the needs of your next trip, keeping your personal information safe probably came up. Sometimes, a simple folding label is all you need. The Away Luggage Tags fold in the center to ensure your address and phone number aren't displayed to the world. Plus, there are a few fun colorways to choose from.

It comes with a paper sheet to write your information inside, or you can print something on your printer at home. This luggage tag is crafted from leather, which looks and feels professional. The attachment strap isn't attached to the tag itself, which makes putting it on more straightforward, but it means there's a chance you could lose it in between trips.

Finding your luggage is a lot easier with suitcase tags like these, whether you're traveling for work or pleasure.

Why We Like It: Lots of colorway options.

What You Should Know: If you pick a vibrant color, it might not match your luggage.

If you’re looking for something as vibrant as your personality, look no further than the Rimowa Luggage Tag. At the time of writing, there are nine colorway options, many of which are fun and eye-catching. Choosing something this distinctive makes it easy to find your bag at the luggage claim; however, if you update your bag, you run the risk of clashing colors.

These luggage identifiers don’t come with a piece of paper to write your information onto and slot back inside, which is a bummer. However, the Nappa leather is sleek, they’re crafted in Italy, and you can customize what information you want on the identifier if you make it yourself.

If you want something to brighten your mood at the airport baggage claim, these might be the best luggage tags for you!

Why We Like It: Simple design at a budget price.

What You Should Know: Not unique looking, long-term durability concerns.

If you’re traveling with a group or have multiple pieces of luggage you want to tag, the best luggage tags for you are probably budget-friendly. The Mifflin tags come in various pack sizes and colors to meet your needs. The materials are hard plastic that scuffs up reasonably easily. However, coming in at under $10 for three, we aren’t too surprised.

These little cute luggage tags come with a piece of paper to write your information on, so all you need is a writing utensil. The attachment loops give us longevity concerns; however, we haven’t broken any so far.

If you’re looking for luggage tags on a budget, look no further.

Why We Like It: Fun colorways and designs.

What You Should Know: Not many minimalist options.

Even if you opt for a minimalist-looking rolling luggage set, there’s nothing wrong with spicing up your life with a vibrant design. The ban.do Getaway Leather Luggage Tag comes in a handful of fun patterns, some of which have fun sayings. They’re crafted from vegan leather, so no animal products were used to create them.

If you want minimalism over everything, these might not be the best luggage tags for you. However, for folks who like finding gear that makes them stand out in the crowd, ban.do has some cute luggage tags you might enjoy. Personal favorites in the office are Rainbow Stripe and Superbloom!

Theys come with a slip to write your information on, and it’s covered by a piece of material that secures with a button, so your digits aren’t out there in the world while you’re exploring it.

Why We Like It: The leather grain is sleek but professional.

What You Should Know: The leather look isn’t for everyone.

If you’re looking for the best luggage tags that look professional and come in a handful of colorways, check out the Longchamp LE FOULONNÉ Leather Luggage Tag. The matte leather exterior looks sleek and fun to play with while waiting to check your bag.

The tag secures using a pin buckle. The strap doesn’t feel super durable; however, we’ve had no issues with it breaking. There’s no paper to write your name on included, so you’ll have to make your own. This takes some time but ensures you can maximize the space and only put the information you want to on there.

For a fancier look, these are some of the best luggage tags for airline travel!

Why We Like It: Budget price and loads of colorway options.

What You Should Know: Long-term durability concerns.

Sometimes simplicity is all you need, especially when searching for the best luggage tag for you. The Travelambo Luggage Tags offer a basic design that’s easy to use and comes at a budget-friendly price.

At the time of writing, there are three dozen color options, ranging from black to sparkly pink. The packs come with two, so you can share one with your partner or save one for later if your first one breaks.

At less than $10, durability is bound to be an issue. However, we have no problems to report so far. They’re not well suited for more durable adventures but will work for most other trips.

If you’re looking for a set of custom luggage tags that will make you the envy of all the travelers waiting to check their bags in, look no further than the Boarding Pass Custom Leather Luggage Tags. There are a few colors, so you can find a model that fits your vibe.

Your luggage will stand out if it isn’t as fancy as the tag. However, we’ve found they go well with many travel backpacks we’ve reviewed here at Pack Hacker. Plus, you can customize them with your information, so you don’t have to worry about writing everything down.

If you change your address, you will have to get new tags. However, if you keep the same phone number, you can put that only on the leather. If you’re looking for something unique, these might be the best luggage tags for you.

Why We Like It: You can track your luggage anywhere.

What You Should Know: Easy for thieves to see.

In the modern technological age, you don’t necessarily need to write anything down to make your luggage easy to find. With the rise of tracking devices, you can attach one to your luggage to ensure you know where it is from boarding to pickup. This AirTag luggage tag is easy to use and durable for your next adventure.

It’s crafted from leather, with a sleek look that feels just as comfortable in first class as in the back of a pickup truck. The AirTag isn’t included, so you’ll have to purchase that too.

If you don’t want to place it on the pack’s exterior, you can put it inside your bag instead. Plus, once you arrive, you can attach your AirTag to other gear you don’t want to lose, like your daypack or sling .

Why We Like It: Comes with everything you need to help you find your luggage.

What You Should Know: A bit pricey for what you get.

If you’re looking for more than just a set of luggage tags, Tumi has you covered. Their Accent Kit has two monogram patches, a leather handle wrap, a luggage tag, and eight leather zipper pulls. They all match—so your gear will go together nicely.

If you only want the luggage tag, getting the set isn’t the most economical option. However, for those looking to take their pack customization level at the airport game to the next level, look no further. It’s a little pricey for something simple, but sometimes the small things are worth paying for.

The set is designed to work with Tumi luggage but will work with most travel backpacks and daypacks.

Why We Like It: It can hold an AirTag and your personal information.

What You Should Know: Not a lot of variety when it comes to colorways.

If you’re set on having a classic-looking luggage tag but want the modern conveniences of an AirTag, the Waterfield AirTag Leather Luggage Tag was made for you. In addition to having your information on a placard, there’s a dedicated spot to stow your AirTag so that you know your luggage made it onto the plane, when it starts spinning around the baggage area, and where it went off to should it be stolen.

The tag is crafted from leather, which is durable, looks sleek, and is comfortable to hold. Your personal information is hidden behind a flap of leather that secures so nobody can look you up without a bit of effort. Plus, there are a few leather colors to choose from, so you can find the best luggage tags for your style. The variety isn’t anything to write home about, but we’re happy enough with Waterfield’s high-quality leather materials.

This model is relatively large; however, it doesn’t feel too bulky when on your pack. The added peace of mind of knowing where your luggage is at all times is worth the extra grams it adds onto your back!

Why We Like It: It’s a cat.

What You Should Know: Long-term durability might not hold up.

You might not be able to take your cats on your next trip, but you can keep them close by in spirit. The Kate Spade Cat I.d. Clip is technically designed to hold your identification card; however, it can be used as a luggage tag on the exterior or interior of your pack. The design is fun, and the odds are low that anyone else will have the same luggage tag at the baggage claim.

You’ll have to make your own information card, either by hand or with a printer, which you can design to feature pictures or drawings of your cat, so anyone who finds it knows why your bag sounds like it has dozens of exotic cat toys inside. We’re a little skeptical of the durability of the connector, but we haven’t had any issues in testing so far.

If you’re a cat lover, this might be one of the best luggage tags available for you.

Why We Like It: Budget-friendly and comes in bulk, so you have enough for the whole family.

If you’re bringing the whole family on your next trip and want to ensure you have luggage tags for everyone, the Sodsay Baggage ID Label Tags are worth looking at. There are ten in a package, so there’s enough for everyone. It’s a simple design: a thin piece of plastic that enables you to see the information written on the included card when you’re close.

When you’re further away, it’s harder to decipher what’s written, which is an excellent security feature. The tags feel durable enough; however, we’re uncertain how long the attachment loop will last. No issues to report yet, though!

There are a handful of colorways available. The brighter options are ideal for those who want to be able to see their luggage when it rolls around the baggage claim. The black option is sleek, which we dig aesthetically.

Whichever you go with, these luggage tags won’t break the bank and will ensure you can prepare the whole family!

Why We Like It: Comes with multiple tags and has multiple colorway options

What You Should Know: The design can be seen as childish

If you’ve poked around Amazon while looking for the best luggage tags for your next trip, you’ve probably come across the Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag. They’re well-reviewed, come in a plethora of colorways, and are budget-friendly. Plus, the metal attachment is more durable than the leather or plastic options we’ve seen elsewhere.

There’s a small plane cutout on one side and a small slit for your name on the other. The silicone exterior material covers the rest of your information so that nobody can see your sensitive information. The exterior can pick up dust, but it’s straightforward to clean and take care of on the road.

The airplane design could be seen as childish, but we think it’s a fun way to get you in the mood for your next trip and ensures you know what it is if you find it out of context in your apartment. At the price, it’s hard to find a better simple option.

Why We Like It: Unique colorway and design options.

What You Should Know: The metal attachment ring can be hard to use.

If you want your luggage tags to be as out of this world as traveling feels, the Famavala Luggage Tags are up your alley. The colorways are vibrant, trippy, and fun to look at, which will brighten your trip to the airport and add personality to your pack. With six options to choose from at the time of writing, you can find one that works for you.

The materials feel cheaper than the premium leather models we’ve tested in the past; however, you can’t go wrong with the price. We haven’t had any durability issues, which is essential to note. The metal fastener is robust and ensures the tag won’t fall off your pack, but the screw can be hard to use if you have larger hands or struggle with small objects.

The tag comes with a piece of paper to write your information on, so you don’t have to make your own, which we dig. From Bluesky to Skystar, the Famavala Luggage Tags might be the best luggage tags for you.

Why We Like It: Durability is top-notch, and the price is spectacular.

What You Should Know: Corners are a little sharp.

Here at Pack Hacker HQ, we’ve been using CPACC Aluminum Luggage Tags for over a year. For what, you might ask? Well, that’s top-secret intel. Pack Hacker Pro Members are invited to visit us here at HQ, so your chances of getting security clearance rise dramatically if you join!

Silliness aside, these tags are durable and easy to see, thanks to their vibrant colorway. The aluminum and steel construction can handle the most rugged adventures, whether you’re crossing the desert or climbing a mountain. Similar to other metal ring attachments, it can be hard to open and close them if you have larger hands. Luckily, once you attach it, the ring won’t come undone until you unscrew it again.

A budget price and durable construction make these one of the best luggage tags on the market!

So there you have it; some of the best luggage tags to take on your next trip. Whether you’re looking for something basic or a model that works with modern technology, hopefully, you’ve found your pick!

The first thing you want to look for when buying a luggage tag is durability. After all, these little guys are going to be bouncing around on conveyor belts and being tossed around by baggage handlers. You want to make sure your luggage tag can withstand the wear and tear of travel. Look for tags made from sturdy materials such as leather or silicone, and make sure the information on the tag is securely attached.

When it comes to luggage tags, size does matter! Make sure the tag you choose is the right size for your luggage and can be easily attached. You want to select a tag that’s large enough to display your contact information and other essential details, but not so large that it becomes cumbersome. A standard luggage tag size is around 4.5 inches by 2.5 inches. However, you can also find smaller or larger options based on your preference.

The visibility of your luggage tag is another crucial factor to consider. You want to select a tag that’s easily visible, even from a distance. Bright colors such as neon green, orange, or pink are excellent choices for increasing visibility.

Information Protection

One of the most important things to consider when buying a luggage tag is the protection of your personal information.

Look for tags that allow for some form of personalization, whether it’s how your personal information is laid out, or even a quirky design. Not only will this make your bags easier to find, but it’ll also give your luggage a touch of personality.

Value for Money

When shopping for luggage tags, make sure you’re getting value for your money. While it may be tempting to go for the cheapest option, it’s important to remember that you’re investing in something that will be with your luggage for a long time.

There are a few ways to counteract this issue and achieve peace of mind, and one of the most successful is using luggage trackers. In this post, we’ll help you find the best luggage trackers on the market.

Best Luggage Trackers & Bag Tag Reviews

We’ve done the hard work in narrowing down the best luggage trackers with their key features and listed all the info you need to find the best luggage ID tags for you to keep track of your belongings. 

1. Apple AirTag – Smart Tag

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5 stars).

Apple users, this Apple Air Tag is for you! This is Apple’s entry product into the tracker tag market. The compact design paired with unique technology makes this a highly rated tracker by many iPhone users. 

The tag is waterproof with an IP67 rating, meaning you can drop it in water up to 1 meter deep without damage. It’s pretty user-friendly, paired with a super simple setup (the intel is already incorporated into Apple products) and easy-to-replace inexpensive batteries.

Ultra-wideband technology is the secret to this tab. The Precision Finding feature on the app on your phone will lead you with visual arrows until you are near enough to hear the device’s sound. When not in close range, the device can connect to and use the location information from other nearby iPhones to direct you to the lost item. 

Despite the product being Apple, Android devices can scan the Airtags, and if they find your lost item, they can access the name and phone number you provide to help return it.

2. Dynotag Web/GPS Enabled QR Smart Deluxe Steel Luggage Tag For Suitcases

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5 stars).

Faq about luggage trackers, what is a luggage tracker.

There are two types of luggage tags worldwide: the manual one and the smart one. The manual luggage tag is the kind on which you write your name, address, and contact number, and you loop the tag onto your suitcase. So, if it does get lost, the person finding it can reach you, and it will find its way back to you.

An intelligent unit luggage tracker is a little more high-tech. In fact, it's a lot more high-tech. Different luggage tags work in various ways, but they all automatically store your essential contact details , your itinerary, and your flight details, and usually, they connect to an app so you can easily track your luggage.

Our next section will cover the benefits of using a luggage tracker. For now, we can confidently say that going more high-tech with your luggage tracing needs will reduce the chances of getting lost for a considerable length of time.

What are the benefits of using luggage trackers?

• You can be sure that your luggage will find its end destination much quicker if it does get lost somehow
• You can often trace your luggage using a smartphone app that connects to the tag, a little like a GPS bagtag
• You can link your luggage tracker to more high-tech equipment, such as smart luggage, which traces itself!
• Some luggage trackers store your itinerary , so if your bag goes missing on a connecting flight, the airline can access your itinerary information and make sure your bag ends up at your final destination much quicker than otherwise

What to look for in a luggage tracker?

When purchasing a luggage tracker, you need to look at a few areas to whittle down your choice of product.

• Durability Of The Luggage Tag: you obviously want the tag to stay attached to your luggage, even under stress, e.g., when being stored in the hold of an airplane. Reading smart trackers reviews will inform you of this. However, do make sure to check what material the tag is made of, especially the strap, and check the tag's size because smaller ones have a higher risk of detaching and going missing in action
• What Is The Luggage Tracker's Strength / How Does It Attach? This is another question that reviews will answer. Most of these tags attached by metal rings are robust and long-lasting. If the tag fastens with a buckle, this is possibly a red flag, as these have a habit of detaching quickly
• How Does The Luggage Tag Work: does it have a barcode to store your information? Is it password-protected? Does it connect to a track your luggage app so you can trace your bag? Tags work very differently, so you need to look to find the best smart luggage options for you
• Luggage Trackers Cost: the budget is also essential, so you should shop around and find the top deals before purchasing

The 4 Best Luggage Trackers of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Never lose luggage again with these easy-to-use tracking devices.

Our Testing Process

• Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

Losing luggage before (or after) a trip can put a damper on any experience. While there is no way to prevent airlines from misplacing your luggage, using a luggage tracker is one of the best travel hacks for making the process easier if your suitcase doesn’t make it on a flight.

To recommend the best luggage trackers on the market, we tested eight different devices from trusted tech brands. After flying with all of the luggage trackers, we chose the top three trackers that were effortless to set up, accurately located our luggage, and were extremely useful for offering peace of mind while traveling. Our top pick might surprise you, so keep reading to learn more about what qualities we looked for in a luggage tag.

Best Overall

Eufy smarttrack link.

• Ease of Setup 5 /5
• Accuracy 5 /5
• Functionality 5 /5
• Design 4.5 /5

It pairs seamlessly with an iPhone and costs much less than AirTags.

The locator sound on the device could be louder.

Eufy’s luggage tracker edged out the popular Apple AirTags during testing by impressing us with the same (if not slightly better) features at a much lower price point. The device came ready to go and all we had to do was open the Find My app on an iPhone and the tracker automatically connected for hassle-free setup. Throughout our four-month tests, we used the tracker on eight different flights and every time we could see that our luggage was on the airplane before take-off, providing peace of mind en route to our final destination. In between trips, we simply left the tracker in the suitcase, so it was ready for our next adventure.

The device itself is thin and small, but not too small that it could get lost easily, so you can feel safe using it in a wallet or purse on a trip. One of our favorite traits is the hole in the upper corner that can be directly attached to a keychain or lanyard to keep track of car or house keys instead. Plus, the tracker is water-resistant and didn’t get damaged during travels, even after we tucked it into the bottom of a 50-pound checked suitcase. 

The Details: 1.46 x 1.46 x 0.26 inches | Replaceable lithium coin battery | No subscription fee | iOS compatible only | Water-resistant

Best for Everyday Use

Apple airtag.

• Accuracy 2.5 /5
• Functionality 4 /5
• Design 5 /5

The device is about the size and weight of a quarter, which makes it easy to use to track all types of items.

Over the course of our four-month tests, we did have issues with location accuracy as the AirTag can lose connection quite easily.

The small size of an Apple AirTag is ideal for keeping track of your items without noticing the device is tucked away. Since the tags are about the size of a quarter, they can fit in a suitcase, purse, or wallet with ease, and the metal material feels particularly durable compared to the other plastic models we tried. Made by Apple, the device pairs to an iPhone within seconds and is tracked via the Find My app, where users can also change the name of the device if there is more than one. With the popularity of AirTags , there are tons of compatible accessories (beyond placing them in luggage), including passport covers, wallets, keychains, and wristbands for kids. The biggest downside we experienced with the AirTag is that it didn’t accurately provide the location of the luggage and it spooked us several times with messages saying that luggage was left behind while we were taxiing on the tarmac. Although the AirTag wasn’t our top pick, we still think it’s an excellent option to help prevent lost bags . 

The Details: 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.31 inches | Replaceable lithium coin batteries | No subscription fee | iOS compatible only

Best Subscription

Tile pro bluetooth tracker.

• Ease of Setup 4.5 /5
• Accuracy 4 /5

You can use this device to track items for free, but the paid subscription offers worthwhile features for some travelers.

The device requires the Tile app and it wasn’t very intuitive to navigate for setup — even after four months of testing, we found the separate app to be annoying.

The Tile Pro Bluetooth Tracker offers the same basic functionality as the other devices we tried, including the ability to see the location of the device on an app. However, frequent fliers will appreciate the ability to upgrade the features of this device by getting one of the two premium plans offered by Tile that cost $30 or $100 per year depending on the plan (you can get the first year for free when you purchase the tracker through Tile). The premium subscription comes with smart alerts to tell you when the device isn’t in range, 30-day location history, and reimbursement for lost items that Tile can’t track with options for $100 or $1,000 reimbursement for either the premium or premium protection plan. 

For travelers who just want to use the Tile tracker as is, we were impressed with the durable and functional design of the plastic fob. It comes with a hole in it so you can use it for keys and wallets along with luggage, too. We had some slight issues setting up the device with the Tile app, but once we started messing around with it, it got easier to navigate over time.

The Details: 2.32 x 1.32 x 0.3 inches | Replaceable lithium metal batteries | Subscription fee | Android, iOS, and Smart Home compatible | Water-resistant

Best for Android Users

Samsung galaxy smarttag2.

It's easy to use and comes with a keychain that you can attach to just about any item.

The button is quite sensitive, so you may accidentally trigger the alarm if it's in a bag, purse, or pocket.

For Android users who are looking for a luggage tracker than can be used while on vacation and for everyday needs, the latest SmartTag from Samsung is a great choice. While it does require an app to use, the set-up process was easy and intuitive. Plus, there is no subscription required to use the SmartTag2 and the battery lasts over 500 days, so you really don't need to think of the device often after you attach it to your suitcase, purse, bag, or keys.

Throughout our tests, the device was very accurate for tracking location and it never lost connection. It's also small and lightweight, so you can easily attach it to just about any item you may want to track. The SmartTag also comes with a case and keychain for extra durability and convenience.

The Details: 2.06 x 1.13 x 0.31 inches | Replaceable lithium metal batteries | Android | Water-resistant

Other Luggage Trackers We Liked

The luggage tracker highlighted below didn’t quite make the cut, but we’re giving it an honorable mention after a solid performance in testing.

Dynotag Brushed Stainless Steel Smart Tag : This luggage tag isn’t technically a tracker since there isn’t a feature to locate the device, but if someone found it, the QR code would easily put them into contact with the owner of the luggage. 

To test eight luggage trackers, we traveled with every device in a checked bag over the course of four months to see how well each one performed based on ease of use, functionality, accuracy, and design. We also tested some of the trackers for everyday use to keep track of wallets, keychains, and headphones. 

First, we set up each device according to the instructions (or lack thereof) to see how easy or difficult it was to get started. After setting up the devices, we placed them in checked luggage and flew to various destinations, including routes with multiple layovers, to ensure our luggage made it onto the flights. In the end, our favorite luggage trackers were simple and intuitive to set up, accurately displayed the location of the item, and had a sleek and functional design meant for tracking luggage and other items while traveling.

Tips for Buying a Luggage Tracker

Make sure it’s compatible with your device.

The tricky thing about buying a luggage tracker is that not all of them are compatible with all operating systems. In general, most trackers can connect with just iOS or Android, but there are a few options that can connect with both. It’s almost always listed in the specifications section of the product so you’ll want to double-check before purchasing a tracker, especially if you plan on gifting it to someone .

Consider where and how you’ll be using it

Tracking devices are ideal for luggage, but they can also work well for keys, wallets, passports, purses, and more whether you’re on the road or at home. For travelers looking for a tracking device for wallets and passports, we recommend the Apple AirTag since there are tons of travel accessories made to hold the device and they are also slim enough to fit anywhere. For keys or AirPods, consider getting a tag with a hole designed for attaching the device to keychains or rings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Luggage trackers use Bluetooth and GPS signaling to relay the location of the device back to a phone or tablet. Even if you’re thousands of miles away, the tracker can usually display a location on a map on your device, which is particularly useful if your luggage gets lost in transit .

Although luggage trackers often have lithium batteries, they are still allowed in checked and carry-on bags. The FAA doesn’t allow rechargeable lithium batteries with more than 100 watt hours per battery, but, luckily, tracking devices have less than that.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Farmhouse Decors

When I'm picking out farmhouse decor, I always keep a few key factors in mind.

Material quality and durability are essential, because no one wants their charming new piece to crumble like a stale biscuit.

Plus, I consider how the decor fits into my aesthetic style , color palette , and the overall vibe of the space—after all, I wouldn't want my living room to look like a barn explosion!

Material Quality and Durability

Choosing farmhouse decor that boasts high-quality materials can greatly enhance both the aesthetic and durability of your space. When I select decor, I always prioritize solid wood , durable ceramics , and high-quality metal. These materials are known for their longevity and sturdiness, making them perfect for my cozy retreat.

I also love incorporating natural fibers like cotton and linen. Not only do they add to the rustic charm, but they're also easy to care for , which is a win in my book!

Checking for finishes that resist wear and tear is essential too; distressed or laminated surfaces keep things looking fresh despite the chaos of everyday life.

And let's not forget about weight! Heavier items often indicate better quality and stability—important for those decorative shelves that need to withstand my collection of quirky knick-knacks.

Plus, I always take a peek at product ratings and customer feedback . High ratings usually mean better material quality, which translates to long-term satisfaction.

In the end, investing in quality materials means I can enjoy my farmhouse decor without worrying about it falling apart faster than my last baking attempt!

Aesthetic Style and Theme

Understanding the aesthetic style and theme of farmhouse decor is essential for creating a warm and inviting space that reflects my love for rustic charm and simplicity. The key elements revolve around rustic, vintage, and cozy motifs, which collectively evoke a sense of comfort.

I often find that natural materials like wood, metal, and textiles enhance the connection to rural life, making my home feel more grounded. When I incorporate distressed finishes and vintage accents , it adds character and a story to my decor. These handmade or artisanal pieces don't just fill space; they breathe life into my home.

It's all about creating a cohesive look that feels authentic, yet effortlessly stylish. Versatility is vital too. I love how farmhouse decor can adapt to cozy living rooms or functional dining spaces without missing a beat.

It's like having a wardrobe that works for both casual Fridays and Sunday brunch—who doesn't love that? By keeping these aesthetic styles and themes in mind, I can transform any room into a cozy retreat that reflects my personality while celebrating the beauty of simplicity.

Color Palette Coordination

Creating a harmonious color palette is essential for achieving the inviting essence of farmhouse decor. I've found that a cohesive mix of neutral tones —think whites, creams, and grays—paired with earthy colors like browns and greens creates that cozy atmosphere we all crave.

When I incorporate varying shades of the same color, it adds depth and texture to my spaces, making them feel layered and inviting.

Don't forget to spice things up with accent colors ! A splash of soft blues, dusty pinks, or rustic reds through pillows or wall art can create focal points without overwhelming the primary palette. It's all about balance, right?

Using natural materials like wood and linen not only enhances the visual appeal but also resonates perfectly with the farmhouse aesthetic.

Seasonal changes are another fun way to refresh your decor. I love swapping in warmer hues during the colder months for that snug feel, while lighter shades in spring evoke fresh energy.

Functional Versatility in Use

When selecting farmhouse decor , I always prioritize functional versatility , ensuring each piece serves a purpose while enhancing the overall aesthetic of my home. I love decor items that pull double duty , like a charming vase that can also hold a candle or store miscellaneous knick-knacks. It's like having a two-for-one deal without the guilt of overindulgence!

I also appreciate how many farmhouse pieces, such as rustic lanterns and decorative trays , can easily shift from the dining table to a living room mantle. That flexibility means I can rearrange my spaces with minimal effort. Plus, I adore decor that accommodates seasonal changes . With a simple swap of flowers or accents, I can refresh my home's look without breaking the bank on new items.

Lightweight materials, like metal and plastic, are game-changers, making it easy for me to move pieces around whenever the mood strikes. Versatile decor, such as faux plants and decorative risers , fits seamlessly into different rooms and purposes. It's all about expressing myself in various environments, and honestly, who doesn't enjoy a little variety in life?

Size and Space Considerations

Choosing the right farmhouse decor means carefully considering the size and space of each item to guarantee it complements my home without overwhelming it.

I've learned that dimensions matter —a 12-inch decorative tray fits perfectly on my small coffee table, while a 30 x 30 cm windmill looks stunning on my wall, but only if I've measured the space first.

Height is another critical factor. Taller items, like a 10-inch vase, need a shelf or mantel with enough vertical clearance to avoid looking cramped. No one wants a vase teetering like it's auditioning for a circus act!

Weight shouldn't be overlooked either. Heavier pieces require sturdier surfaces , ensuring my beloved farmhouse style doesn't turn into a game of Jenga.

When arranging decor, I try to maintain harmony in size and scale —clusters of smaller items can create a cozy vibe , while a few larger pieces serve as striking accents .

In the end, thoughtful choices about size and space transform my home into a cozy retreat, where every piece feels just right and no one has to dodge a wobbly vase!

Maintenance and Care Requirements

After getting the right sizes and shapes for my farmhouse decor , I realized that understanding maintenance and care requirements is key to keeping everything looking its best.

For instance, I learned that many textiles, like cotton or linen, need gentle handling . I usually hand wash them or use the cold cycle on my machine. It's a small effort for the quality they bring to my space!

Faux plants are my go-to for a touch of greenery without the fuss. A quick dusting with a damp cloth keeps them looking fresh—easy peasy!

On the other hand, I treat my wooden decor pieces with care. A dry cloth to wipe away dust is all they need to prevent moisture damage.

Metal decor, especially those with a distressed finish, requires gentle handling to avoid scratches. I use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning—no rough stuff!

Finally, seasonal decor is a bit of a diva; it often needs more attention, especially if it's in sunlit or damp areas.

Keeping these care tips in mind has made maintaining my farmhouse retreat a lot easier, and hey, who doesn't love a cozy home that shines?

Budget and Cost-effectiveness

Establishing a budget is essential for me to guarantee I select farmhouse decor that meets both my aesthetic desires and financial realities.

I've learned the hard way that sticking to a budget helps me avoid impulse purchases that might lead to buyer's remorse.

When I choose decor, I consider the long-term value of each piece. For instance, a decorative tray can serve multiple purposes—think of it as both decor and a practical storage solution!

I also keep an eye out for sales, discounts , and bundled deals. Who doesn't love a good bargain? These options can greatly reduce costs while helping me achieve that cohesive farmhouse look.

Evaluating the durability of decor items is vital, too. Sure, high-quality materials might cost more upfront, but they save me money in the long run by cutting down on replacements.

Ultimately, I aim for a balanced mix of budget-friendly accents and a few statement pieces.

This strategy allows me to create a stylish farmhouse atmosphere without breaking the bank.

Seasonal Decor Adaptability

Seasonal decor adaptability is essential for me, as it allows my farmhouse decor to evolve with each holiday and season, keeping my home fresh and inviting year-round.

I love how versatile decor pieces , like vases and candle holders, can be styled with seasonal flowers or themed decorations. It's amazing to see how a simple swap can transform a room for Christmas or Easter gatherings.

When choosing items, I focus on neutral color schemes and classic designs . This strategy makes it easy to integrate seasonal decor without needing a complete overhaul. Plus, I incorporate removable elements , like decorative garlands or faux plants, for quick changes while maintaining that cozy farmhouse vibe .

Durability and low maintenance are also key factors for me. Many farmhouse decor items are built to withstand the test of time, making them perfect for seasonal displays without a ton of upkeep.

It's like having a wardrobe filled with versatile pieces; change a few accessories, and voilà! With these considerations, I'm able to craft a home that reflects the beauty of each season without breaking a sweat—or the bank!

Factors to Consider When Choosing Farmhouse Sinks

When I'm choosing a farmhouse sink , I consider several essential factors that can really make or break my kitchen experience.

The material's durability , size, installation type, and design all play a significant role in my decision-making process, along with how easy it's to maintain .

After all, I want a sink that not only looks great but can also handle my culinary adventures—because we all know that a little spaghetti sauce goes a long way!

Material Durability and Quality

Choosing a farmhouse sink involves carefully considering the material's durability and quality to guarantee it meets the demands of daily kitchen use.

I've found that fireclay and stainless steel are the top contenders here. Fireclay sinks, fired at temperatures exceeding 2600°F, offer outstanding strength and can resist impacts like a champ. That means no more worrying about clumsy moments with heavy pots.

On the other hand, stainless steel sinks, particularly those made from T304 grade, are champions of corrosion resistance . With a solid 16-gauge thickness , they boast durability that's hard to beat. Plus, many come with a non-porous, smooth glaze finish that fends off stains and scratches as if they're made of Teflon.

However, weight is an important factor. Some farmhouse sinks can tip the scales at over 100 pounds! So, make sure your cabinetry is ready to support the heavyweight champion of your kitchen.

Finally, look for premium features like sound-dampening technology —because nobody wants to hear their dishes clattering like a rock concert.

Make an informed choice, and your sink will serve you well for years to come!

Size and Dimensions

Understanding the right size and dimensions for a farmhouse sink is essential to ascertain it fits seamlessly into my kitchen layout and meets my daily needs.

Farmhouse sinks typically come in various sizes , with widths commonly at 30 inches or 33 inches. I've learned that for a standard 33-inch sink , my base cabinet must be at least 36 inches wide. This guarantees everything fits perfectly, avoiding any awkward kitchen mishaps.

The depth of these sinks usually ranges from 9 to 10 inches, which is fantastic for washing large pots and pans. I love the idea of having ample space for my oversized cookware without the constant struggle of awkward angles.

As I browse options, I focus on the overall dimensions, contemplating width, depth, and height, to ascertain my new sink complements my kitchen design.

Another thing to ponder is whether I want a single bowl or a divided bowl design . I often find that large single bowl designs enhance usability in busy kitchens. After all, who wouldn't want a sink that can handle their culinary adventures without turning into a game of Tetris?

Installation Type

Considering the various installation types for farmhouse sinks can greatly impact both the functionality and aesthetic of my kitchen.

I've found that the choice often boils down to three main options: undermount , apron front , and flush mounting . Each comes with its unique benefits.

Undermount sinks are my favorite for a sleek look . They sit beneath the countertop, making cleanup a breeze since there are no raised edges to trap crumbs. Apologies, stubborn stains!

Then there's the apron front style, which showcases a bold front panel that extends beyond the cabinetry. This option not only adds classic charm but also allows for deeper basins —perfect for soaking those oversized pots.

Lastly, flush mounting offers a modern, streamlined appearance by aligning the sink with the countertop. It's chic, but I've to verify my countertop material can handle it.

I can't forget about weight considerations ! Many farmhouse sinks are hefty, so I need to confirm my base cabinet is up to the task.

Choosing the right installation type isn't just about looks; it's about making my kitchen experience as functional as possible.

Design and Aesthetics

Focusing on design and aesthetics can transform a farmhouse sink into the centerpiece of my kitchen , blending functionality with style. The deep single bowl design of these sinks not only enhances practicality but also adds a rustic charm that invites family and friends to gather.

I love how many farmhouse sinks feature a glossy finish , like high-gloss porcelain or enamel, which brings an elegant touch while being resistant to stains and scratches. The apron front style is another highlight, protruding from the cabinetry and making a bold statement—who doesn't want their sink to be the star of the show?

Plus, the rounded corners are a practical touch, making cleaning a breeze and preventing food residue buildup. Some of my favorite options are reversible designs , offering versatility to match my kitchen's style.

I can switch between finishes or styles, which keeps things fresh and exciting. So, whether I'm washing dishes or preparing a feast, my farmhouse sink not only serves its purpose but also elevates the overall aesthetic of my kitchen.

After all, who said sinks can't be fabulous?

Maintenance and Cleaning

When I choose a farmhouse sink , maintenance and cleaning are at the top of my list, as I want one that stays beautiful with minimal effort.

I've learned that ultra-smooth surfaces , like those finished with glossy glazes, make cleaning a breeze. Food residue just doesn't stick as much, which means less scrubbing for me. Plus, I love sinks with rounded corners —those R20 or R10 designs eliminate those pesky hard-to-reach spots where dirt loves to hide.

One of the most impressive features I look for is an engineered drainage system with a sloped bottom . This design prevents water pooling and enhances drainage efficiency, making my life easier by reducing manual cleaning.

I'm all in for simplicity, so I stick to recommended cleaning methods. A dry or damp cloth works wonders and keeps my sink looking pristine.

Lastly, I opt for non-porous materials , like fine fireclay or stainless steel, because they resist stains and scratches. Who wants to deal with a sink that looks like it's been through a food fight?

With the right farmhouse sink, I can maintain both beauty and functionality without losing my sanity.

Accessories and Features

Choosing the right farmhouse sink means taking into account the accessories and features that can enhance its functionality and fit my kitchen style.

I've found that many farmhouse sinks come equipped with essential accessories, like stainless steel bottom grids and cutting boards, which really boost convenience. Who wouldn't want a sink that helps keep their kitchen organized?

Features like an optimized drainage system with a sloped bottom are a must for me. They prevent water pooling and make cleaning a breeze—because let's face it, nobody enjoys scrubbing away at stubborn stains.

Rounded corners, whether R10 or R20, also make a difference by minimizing those pesky hard-to-reach spots where grime likes to hide.

I appreciate sinks with reversible designs , too. They let me switch up the aesthetic whenever I feel like it.

Plus, workstation designs with built-in ledges for sliding accessories offer additional workspace , making meal prep a bit more enjoyable. After all, who doesn't need a little extra room when chopping veggies?

What Materials Are Farmhouse Sinks Typically Made From?

Farmhouse sinks are typically made from materials like stainless steel, cast iron, fireclay, or composite. I've found each material has its own benefits, affecting durability and style, so choosing the right one's important for my kitchen.

How Do I Properly Maintain a Farmhouse Sink?

Isn't it satisfying to keep things clean? I regularly wipe down my farmhouse sink with a gentle cleanser, avoid abrasive materials, and rinse thoroughly. A little care goes a long way in preserving its beauty.

Can Farmhouse Sinks Fit Into Standard Cabinetry?

I've found that most farmhouse sinks can fit into standard cabinetry, but it's essential to measure carefully. I always recommend checking the sink's dimensions and ensuring my cabinetry can accommodate its depth and width properly.

What Is the Average Cost of a Farmhouse Sink?

Farmhouse sinks typically range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the material and brand. I've found that investing in a quality sink not only enhances aesthetics but also proves practical for daily use.

Are Farmhouse Sinks Suitable for Small Kitchens?

I've found farmhouse sinks can be suitable for small kitchens if you choose a compact design. They add character without overwhelming the space, making them both functional and stylish in a cozy setting.

In summary, choosing the right farmhouse sink can truly elevate your kitchen to celestial heights.

With so many options, from classic fireclay to sleek stainless steel, you're bound to find one that perfectly fits your style and needs.

Remember to take into account factors like size, material , and installation type to guarantee you snag the best fit.

After all, a great sink isn't just a utility; it's the heart of your kitchen.

Happy sink shopping—may your dishes always be clean!

8 Proven tips on luggage tags, trackers and other tools

by Anne Betts | Oct 29, 2023 | Travel Tips , Luggage and Packing | 6 comments

Updated October 29, 2023

It’s not uncommon for another passenger to take the wrong bag from a luggage carousel or overhead locker. Or, for your checked or gate-checked carry-on bag to not arrive with you at your destination. The inconvenience associated with these scenarios, and others, can be avoided or minimized with these tips on luggage tags, trackers, and other tools to tag, track, secure, and differentiate your bags from those of other travellers.

Table of Contents

No bag is invulnerable to loss

1. make your bag stand out, 2. insert a bag tracker , 3. secure your bags, 4. take photographs of your bags, 5. remove tags from previous trips, (i) consider lost-and-found tags, (ii) limit personal information on the external tag, (iii) match names: luggage tag and ticket, (iv) use durable luggage tags, (v) save the personal and trip details for the internal tag, (vi) keep luggage tag templates on file, (vii) prepare luggage tag inserts for each segment of travel, (viii) don’t rely on one type of luggage tag, 7. keep your checked luggage receipt in a safe place, 8. download the airline app and activate luggage tracking.

A purse can be inadvertently left behind on a bathroom hook or the back of a chair. A carry-on bag can be mistakenly taken (or stolen) by another passenger. The same holds true for bags circulating on a luggage carousel or stowed in a luggage rack on a train.

If you’re a carry-on traveller, gate checking may be your only option if the aircraft has smaller overhead lockers, or if they’re all full by the time you board. A flight attendant may need to rearrange bags and move some to another overhead locker.

Tips on luggage tags, trackers, and other tools

Personalize your luggage so it’s easily distinguishable from similar bags, visually and by touch.

A luggage handle wrap with a built-in luggage tag can do triple duty. It’s a luggage tag, a comfortable handle grip, and it can help a bag stand out among a sea of similar bags. Mine came in a set of three from Lewis N Clark .

A stencil could help add a travel-inspired creation to the outside of a hard or soft-sided bag. Or, check out the variety of travel stickers that can be attached to hard-sided luggage, guitar cases, or laptop bags. 

A luggage strap helps prevent a bag from opening while in transit. Some straps incorporate a luggage tag or lock in the design.

A luggage cover protects a bag from scratches and dirt, and makes it instantly recognizable. A cover can also provide a measure of security by minimizing the chance of pilfering or keeping belongings in place in case of a zipper malfunction. Look for a washable, lightweight fabric with high elasticity and openings for luggage handles and wheels.

Avoid colourful embellishments such as pom-poms, ribbons, or scarves that could catch on luggage belts, carts, or other bags and increase the likelihood of damage to equipment or bags.

Slip a tracker such as Tile Mate or Apple AirTag inside your bag and use the respective app on a compatible device to locate it. A tracker in a holder can be attached to an inside zipper, key chain fob, or other attachment point inside a bag or purse.

The type and design of luggage will influence how best to secure it. My Osprey Farpoint 40 has interlocking zippers so I use a triple cable lock . One cable locks the two sets of zippers together, and the other can be looped around the handle, or to another bag or fixed object. It’s also useful for securing luggage in a hostel locker.

There may be occasions that call for a lightweight luggage cable . It can be used to attach my bag to a belt loop when napping in an airport terminal, or lock several bags together when travelling with others. When travelling by train, a cable can help secure a bag to the luggage rack.

Might a low-tech luggage alarm hold some appeal? If your bag is moved while you are sleeping, or from a luggage rack that isn’t easily monitored, a bear bell will alert you and hopefully discourage an opportunistic thief from proceeding with the plan to take your bag.

Take photographs of all bags and their contents: checked luggage, ‘standard’ carry-on bag destined for the overhead locker, and ‘personal’ item to be stowed under the seat in front.

Then, draft an email to yourself with the photographs as attachments. Keep receipts and include photos or scanned copies. In the body of the email describe the bags in detail. For each bag, specify the brand and model, colour, dimensions, and any distinguishing characteristics that help the bag stand out. List the passenger’s name, home and destination addresses, email, and telephone number(s).

If a bag goes missing, the email will be at your fingertips to forward to the airline’s baggage claim services, or the police if it’s suspected luggage was stolen.

Remove all stickers or tags from previous journeys. An automated system might scan an old tag in error, sending luggage off to an unwanted destination.

6. Add ‘luggage tags’ to your packing list

Luggage tags aren’t something to be overlooked, or relegated to afterthought status at the check-in counter at the airport. There’s a good chance those flimsy paper tags provided by airlines will not survive the flight. Include ‘luggage tags’ on your packing list so they’re not forgotten, and have the necessary pre-trip attention they deserve.

Here are some tips on preparing and using luggage tags.

A lost-and-found tag helps hoteliers and hosts, airline and airport security staff, or Good Samaritans, take steps to facilitate the return of lost possessions.

• For more information, see Lost and found recovery services for travellers .

If the information is visible to passers-by, it can end up being scrutinized by many people. A home address can alert would-be burglars that there may not be anyone at home and it’s a good time for a robbery. A home landline telephone number can be enough for thieves to obtain a home address using reverse phone number lookup websites.

A luggage tag needs to contain just enough information to facilitate the return of a delayed, lost, or stolen bag. A name, cell phone number (don’t forget the country code), and email address should be sufficient. If another person has taken a bag by mistake, having a cell phone number may mean that a bag can be returned before the person leaves the airport. 

It might be tempting to use initials as opposed to a full name. However, the airline or transportation company may be able to contact you much faster if its computer can match the name on the luggage tag with the exact name on the ticket.

A checked bag will be handled by different people and different equipment in all kinds of weather. Durability is essential.

Other options include an aluminum tag with a stainless steel cable .

Or, pick up some self-sealing laminating pouches for inserting a business card.

Customized tags are available from a host of web-based companies. I can recommend Personalization Mall . Its simple and straightforward process allows a customer to create unique designs from a wide selection of templates. I downloaded some favourite travel photos to create luggage tag gifts for travelling companions.

Some travellers place a tag on each grab handle as an extra precaution in case one becomes separated from the bag.

Is it wise to choose a luggage tag with a flag or readily recognizable national symbol that advertises your country of origin? One advantage is that it could be a catalyst for interesting conversations. A disadvantage is that it might attract unwanted attention.

An internal luggage tag can contain more information. My internal tag reflects my itinerary. It lists each address and telephone number where I’ll be staying, and the dates I’ll be at each place. If I’m separated from my bag, the inside tag reveals phone numbers where I can be reached, and a complete address if the bag needs to be shipped. It prints on letter-sized paper, a perfect size for slipping inside a plastic page protector. When it’s placed on top of the contents of my bag, it’s hard to be overlooked. In addition, a copy is placed on the door of the fridge at home for the benefit of stay-at-home family members.

Completing luggage tags is much easier if templates are kept on file. Air Canada’s Baggage ID card inspired the template for my internal tag. The template for my external card contains space for my name, email address, and contactable cell phone number. If I’ll be out of the country and not roaming with my cell phone number, I’ll list the telephone numbers (including country code) where I can be reached at my destination. 

For multiple segments with different contactable telephone numbers, it takes so little time to prepare a number of inserts to take with you on your travels. Each one could contain your name and email address, with the respective telephone numbers of family, friends or hotels that are booked in advance. In countries where you plan to pick up a local SIM card, those inserts could have a blank space for the number to be inserted. It takes a little advance planning but well worth it if it facilitates the early return of lost luggage.

Social media travel groups are popular forums for requests for advice on how to track down missing bags. It’s surprising how many refer to carry-on bags taken by other travellers from the overhead compartments. Some respondents mention how they’ve mistakenly taken the wrong bag and their difficulties in determining the owner and how to contact them.

Contact information in a luggage handle wrap is useful only if a person thinks to look there. A tag attached to the outside of a bag is helpful if it hasn’t been separated from the bag during transit. An internal tag is most useful if sits on top of what’s packed and can’t be missed by someone who opens the bag.

When a bag is processed at the check-in kiosk or counter, each item of checked baggage will be tagged with an airline luggage tag. It includes your flight number and destination airport. Always verify the code of the destination airport matches what’s on your itinerary. The receipt portion can then be removed and attached to your boarding pass or stored in a safe place.

The following is from a recent post in a social media travel group:

“I’m currently in Amman, Jordan without my checked luggage. I flew Air Canada from Toronto to San Francisco, then Turkish Airlines to Istanbul and Amman. All flights were booked through Turkish Airlines and my checked bag was tagged by Air Canada in Toronto.

I lost my boarding pass with the checked luggage sticker so the best I could do was describe my bag at the Turkish Airlines desk in Amman. The airline can’t find my luggage, is saying the bag doesn’t exist, and they’re unable to help me.”

For checked luggage, most airlines have a luggage-tracking feature within their app. It’s usually found under More > Track My Bags (sr something similar). It allows passengers to see when their bag has been loaded onto a flight, and when it has been unloaded.

While waiting for a friend to arrive in Montreal, I noticed these bags standing neglected in the baggage claim area. It looked like they’d been there for some time and outside the reach of airline and airport staff to help reunite travellers with their luggage. 

All this to say, use a variety of tools to make it easier for you to track down a missing bag, and for others to help you and your luggage get back together and not end up as unclaimed luggage in a warehouse in Scottsdale, USA .

Great information So many things I have never considered

I personally prefer SuperSmartTag luggage tags. They protect your identity and allow you to be anonymous while keeping your luggage traceable. 🙂

Nowadays, it is common to lose your luggage while traveling by air. These tips are really helpful and would make things much easier in case of a mishap

Alitalia lost my luggage for 12 days. It was returned to me three days before the airline closed shop. I think the this is what made it easy (not so easy because it took 12 days! )for them to return my luggage I had was I had a photograph of the luggage and the baggage tag, which is quite an unusual baggage tag. Amazon has a T-shirt called the “clever travel companion”. It’s a tank top with pockets and I wear it under my T-shirt or a blouse or whatever. I think the white one has deeper pockets than the black one. Knock on wood but it would be very hard for someone to get to it.

Great tips! Here’s an idea. Take a picture of your luggage receipt in case you lose it. For me, my phone pictures are backed up to Google Photos, but the email tip could be used also.

Customer Reviews

Scout Travel - Smart Luggage Tag, Finder & Alarm

Exactly what I was looking for thanks. Got one each for the whole family, no more where’s my bag? Hopefully more security at sports events as well by turning the alarm on to prevent the bag being stolen

I really like how Knog has integrated their product into the “Find My” network. Leveraging Apple’s network is been an absolute boon for end users.

I initially purchased the bike tracking device. Absolutely fell in love with the product after a full season of riding. I’ve even completed submerged the device.

With the new travel tags and the amount of travel I do, this product is a no brainer. I’m currently using the tags to track my tools.

The only thing I would change is the way the product is built. Considering these are luggage tags I’m not sure they are going to take the absolute pounding that luggage receives.

I am really hoping they hold up to my weekly traveling attached to my Pelican Case. Oh, and the “but” part. I would like to see the cabling system improved. Having an adjustable cable would be fantastic. I want to prevent access to my Pelican case completely. People like to get into the case to rummage through my belongings.

Would be great to have a camera affixed to the device too.

The two length string cable able to fit a large sports suitcase and the app is user friendly and accurate

‘Run to your browser and get yourself a Knog Scout Travel if you’re a regular backpack, laptop bag or luggage carrier. - Trevor Long, Tech Expert’

A Luggage Tag Like No Other.

For improved security & recovery.

Digital ID via QR Code

Store your contact instructions in a digital format, which are then accessed by scanning the unique QR code printed on your Scout. Exactly what contact information you share is entirely at your discretion, and can be updated any time via the Knog App.

Tamper-Proof, Secure Attachment

The braided stainless-steel cable attaches to Scout Travel via an anti-tamper security bolt that requires the use of the supplied Knog anti-tamper tool to fit & remove. The cable is supplied in two lengths.

USB-C Rechargeable Battery

Scout Travel is USB-C rechargeable and utilises a high-performance 155 mAh LiPo battery that will provide up to 2 months of use between charges. The Knog app will send you a notification when you hit 20% charge remaining.

Motion-Sensitive Alarm

Increase peace-of-mind by arming the Scout Travel using the Knog app, with any subsequent movement of its accelerometer triggering the loud 85db alarm, while also triggering an audible alarm on your iPhone (when in Bluetooth range).

Smart Luggage Tag  

Gone are the days of writing your personal contact information on a disposable paper tag. With Scout Travel, you can store your contact instructions in a digital format, which can be easily accessed by scanning the unique QR code printed on Scout Travel. Exactly what contact information you share is entirely at your discretion, and can be updated in real-time via the Knog App. In addition, when someone scans your QR code and sees your details, they’ll also be prompted to send you a message from the contact details page. If they do, you’ll be alerted that someone has scanned your tag and / or got in touch and their message will be emailed to you. E.g. “Your bag has been left with Qantas baggage services”. 

Utilise the Apple Find My network

With Scout Travel attached to your luggage, you can enjoy the peace-of-mind of always being able to check exactly where your belongings are anywhere, anytime, by simply using the Apple Find My network from your iPhone. 

Motion-Sensitive 85 dB Alarm

The best security features are those that deter the loss of your luggage in the first place. Which is why the 85db motion-sensitive alarm at the heart of Scout Travel’s design is a truly outstanding feature. From sitting in a busy café to storing luggage in a hotel lobby, increase peace-of-mind by arming Scout Travel via the Knog app, with any subsequent movement of its accelerometer triggering the impossible-to-ignore 85db alarm on Scout Travel, while also triggering an audible alarm on your iPhone (when in Bluetooth range). This alert gives you the opportunity to take action and recover your belongings. 

Secure Attachment

Every aspect of Scout Travel has been designed with security in mind, and nothing communicates this more overtly than our tamper-proof security cable attachment. Constructed from a braided stainless-steel cable coated with a non-abrasive nylon, Scout Travel’s tether allows for a highly secure attachment that won’t damage the very thing it is attached to. Every Scout Travel comes supplied with two cable lengths, to cater for different needs. The tether attaches to Scout Travel via an anti-tamper security bolt that requires the use of the supplied Knog anti-tamper tool to remove it. 

No Subscriptions Fees

Unlike GPS-based trackers, Scout Travel’s compatibility with the Apple Find My network means that once you have purchased a Scout Travel there are no ongoing subscription fees to worry about. 

Separation Alerts

There’s no need to stress about leaving your carry-on behind or someone taking your luggage off the bus. With separation alerts enabled in the Apple Find My app, you’ll get a notification if your Scout Travel drops out of bluetooth range. You can also set Trusted Locations, which are locations where you can leave an item without receiving a notification. 

Scout Travel is USB-C rechargeable and utilises a high-performance 155 mAh LiPo battery, removing the need for single use batteries. A fully charged Scout Travel provides up to 2 months of use between charges. We have also taken the guesswork out of knowing the amount of remaining battery life, as the Knog app will send a notification to your iPhone once the device has only 20% charge remaining, giving you plenty of notice to recharge the unit. 

Built Tough For Real-World Travel

Scout Travel has been designed for travel. Constructed from fibre-reinforced plastic and then over-molded in silicone, Scout Travel is purpose-built to cope with the rigorous demands of travel; however rough things get. Backed by Knog's 2 year warranty.

Remote Chime Function

Many travellers have been in a scenario where they need to identify their belongings in a pile of very similar-looking luggage. This is where Scout Travel’s remote chime function is useful. Using the Knog app, you need only activate their remote chime and a sound will emit from your Scout Travel, making finding your luggage easy. 

NFC Technology & Lost Mode

If a Scout Travel attached piece of luggage is lost, you can open Apple Find My and turn on Lost Mode. Then once it is detected by a device in the Apple Find My network, you will automatically receive a notification. You can also set it so someone can get your contact info by tapping the Scout Travel with an NFC-capable smartphone (most do). 

Charge & Pairing Indicating LEDs

Our Intelligent LEDs take the guesswork out of using your Scout Travel. The LED glows Blue when it is actively paired with your iPhone. This same LED glows Red whilst charging and then turns Green once fully charged. 

Water Resistant

Scout Travel is showerproof but please don’t go chucking it into the hotel pool. 

Privacy Is Always Priority 

Only you can see where your Scout Travel is. Your location data and history are never stored on the Scout Travel itself. Devices that relay the location of your Scout Travel also stay anonymous, and that location data is encrypted every step of the way. So not even Knog or Apple know the location of your Scout Travel or the identity of the device that helps find it.
