After dealing with a middle seat, a screaming baby, and a weather delay, you get to your destination—but your luggage doesn’t! It happens to 10,000 people every day, but that doesn’t have to be you.
You Will Need
- Your luggage
- Ribbons, stickers, or colorful tape
Step 1: Fly on a weekend
Pick a weekend flight. Because fewer people fly on weekends, baggage handlers aren’t so frazzled and are less likely to make mistakes.
Step 2: Avoid connections
Avoid connections. Having a layover almost doubles the odds your luggage gets lost. And in a tight connection, your bags may not follow you to the plane.
Step 3: Remove old tags
Remove anything that might confuse automatic bag screening machines, like pieces of old luggage tags from previous trips.
Step 4: Personalize your bag
Jazz things up a bit! Put a big ribbon, stickers, or tape on your bag—anything to personalize it. Thousands of people unknowingly walk off with the wrong bag.
When buying a suitcase, choose any other color but black. It accounts for more than 80% of all bags!
Step 5: Check in early
Check in early. Most lost luggage is checked within 30 minutes of takeoff. It also takes longer for a bag to get to the plane than for you to get to the gate.
Step 6: Check the airport code
Ask for the code of the airport you’re flying to, then compare it to the tag they put on your bag. Most lost luggage is incorrectly tagged.
Most lost luggage finds its way home—only 2% is never found.

Declare and Carry a Firearm in your Baggage!
You can ship an unloaded firearm in your checked bags, if you can legally possess it at your starting point &; destination. Why is this useful? The bag gets extra attention and the FBI will find it if it ever gets lost.
Firearm must be unloaded, in a locked hard-sided container and inside your checked bag. Ask the desk agent for an ";Unloaded firearm in checked baggage"; declaration, complete and sign it -- it goes in your bag but outside the locked gun case. Check your airline website and TSA.Gov for details.

If you get really creative with the ribbons, stickers, etc. They are more likely to remember it and that will make sure it gets to where it needs to go.

Outbound put your destination information (or itinerary) as well as contact information inside your bag. On the way home, put your name, home address, phone number inside the bag.
A bag separated from its luggage tags may be completely unidentifiable, hence lost forever to the owner.
