Keeping Track of Your Luggage

[wonderpaint]

I just write my name on a neon coloured piece of duct tape then stick it on the OUTSIDE. Since its sticky it wont come of AND I can identify it without opening AND see it from a distance since its neon :P

[Tyler99Wood]

Step 1 - JUST PUT EVERYTHING IN A BAG

[bienlabloger]

@DarkVisions99 unlucky...

[LittleNinja55]

Step 1- Carry on

[PhilipDK5800]

OH YEAH, Just write "LISE BROWN" in Capital Letters, everyone knows who you are from the 6½ billion people in earth.

[OneOfThoseVideoMaker]

Just put a GPS transmitter in the bag, that aught to keep track of your luggage.

[DITTOhiphop]

Why can you just write your name in sharpie on the luggage somewhere. Maybe in pink or blue to stand out?

[Katluver1991]

I have never ever lost luggage on a flight. I guess I'm just lucky.

[claudiaisthebomb]

everytime i travel they always steal something

[pumpkinboy54]

Of course you can also use a label machine to greate labels for the inside and outside of your luggage. I put my name and phone number on them and stick at least one on the inside and one on the outside of each checked bag (carry-ons too)

[zenthex1234]

i couldn't tell you how much shit i lost in the airport, not to mention every one there is a stealing cheating asshole...

[mokapey]

How the hell does having your name INSIDE the bag feckin help you!?! Doesn't tell the handler what plane/flight it should be going to!!

[hazelsue40]

Even better idea, visit bagtats.com. It's cool. You can pick one of their images or upload your own!! Totally cool, easy and practical.

[lightlyone]

He should have stopped after the word "lost". Forget checking any luggage, that's an outdated idea. You're in Rome while your luggage went to Australia. To receive it, you'll have to stick around a few extra days. Either that or by the time it catches up, you're in Spain or Germany.

[strausssecurity]

Thank you for sharing this video. I am sure it will be helpful for a lot of people who are always traveling by air to keep their belongings safe.

TSA stands for

[weumumaway]

@silentbl00d Shut up. 

[SirWinstonChurchill]

Carry-on luggage saves time???

You have to wait for all the slow assholes to dig their bags out of the overhead bin...

STUPID...

OMG! My bags can arrive on the same flight, date, AND place?!

Same flight = same date and place.

:P

[phsangel08]

you know, this would be good advice, except for one thing: when you finally arrive at your destination, and you go to baggage claim and wait for your bag to make its way to the carousel, you still can't tell that it's your bag just by merely looking at it. And if your name is on the inside, that means that you are gonna have to open the piece of luggage that you THINK is yours. And if you have a black piece of luggage, you could be opening a lot of luggage that's not yours!

[HEadshot00001234]

new tags can't be ripped

[Swivel856]

for some advice i would not put any duct tape to any luggage what so ever if you do nowadays they open it to find out what you needed that duct tape for.

[stozza4eva]

Ive gone to Macedonia 5 times and every time i get back in Melbourne, Australia my bags are right there on the conveyor

[shea199710]

Delta charged my family NINETY DOLLARS for a bag that was 54 pounds. So we moved a couple things into the other bag, but still, it would have been NINETY DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Izekio]

@shea199710 Couple of reasons for that, they've budgeted the fuel based on estimations of weight, not every plane fly's with a full tank of fuel, just means more weight they have to haul on takeoff. Another reason is there are a number of labor and union rules out there that prohibit one person from lifting more than 50 pounds on their own requiring 2 people to carry any object heavier than that.

[Mindraker1]

Putting your nametag on it, or in it, is not going to prevent some thieving airline employee from stealing your bag.

[shmigle1]

@Mindraker1 its actually kind of impossible for any airline employee to steal anything from your bags....bags are monitored from the moment you put them on the belt, not to mention from the moment u walk into the terminal.

[Mindraker1]

@shmigle1 How naive thou art.

[shmigle1]

@Mindraker1 Naive? I work for the airline industry, for several major airlines, and not ONCE have things gone missing from passengers bags. like i said, its impossible. security cameras are on the bags at every moment and if you are confident enough to disagree and call me naive, then clearly you have no idea about the industry. its very easy to play the blame game and assume the worst, but when it comes down to it, the facts are simple. and the evidence to support it there.

[Mindraker1]

@shmigle1 You work for the airline industry. That explains why you refuse to admit that workers themselves are thieves. There is a video RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME on youtube showing luggage handlers stealing; I don't even have to search. How blind are you?

[shmigle1]

@Mindraker1 Lol. You are one of those people who read gossip magazines and believe every single line like its your bible. how pathetic.

Bottom line is, the video, my stupid friend, is made by an EXTERNAL SOURCE and shows no REAL EVIDENCE of employees stealing. they are actors in the video. go learn something and stop crying about your stupid luggage that probably has cheap clothes and dirty shoes in it.

[Mindraker1]

@shmigle1 Why don't you stop defending the thieves at TSA and and actually try to get our planes on time and our baggage where they need to be? For god's sake, a bottle of water is NOT a terrorist threat, and NEITHER is a pair of tennis shoes.

[foxdmulder]

@Mindraker1 i know aircraft loaders who sniff womens panties!!!

[Mindraker1]

@foxdmulder Gotta make sure the "underwear bomber" isn't on your plane!

[SirWinstonChurchill]

@shmigle1

Checking your bags is a better idea. I don't know how many times I have had to wait for people to dig their bags out of the stuffed overhead bin.

Getting off the aircraft faster is better for everyone.

I'd rather spend more time off the aircraft than on it.

This video is full of shit.

[JonteKrok]

Anyone ever flown to Hartsfield Jacksson, in Atlanta, GA? I lost my bag there in the christmas rush on December 18th 2007. Not very funny, the biggest airport in the world at christmas and lost bag. Took me 4 hours to track it down. They had forgot to place it on the conveyer belt, thanx a lot! Also this was my first time in the states, and i was flying alone, so i was kind of pissed, fucking up my trip... But it worked out nice in the end =)

[electrogeek77]

I may be some magical being or something, but I have never had problems with checking in baggage, outside of maybe a light-colored suitcase getting a little dirty. I don't even have trouble detecting my suitcase - bright orange, with a red tag, and a turquoise cover that I knitted and sewed onto the handle. You can't miss anything THAT garrish! ;)

[faloc]

pfft, I cant send my Camera Equipment.... I need to carry it...

[qwerty123456789jhdtg]

Just put the name tag INSIDE the luggage, on a clear place. First thing - when lost - what they do is open up the luggage anyway ... tadaaa.

[DanDFriend]

I have only lost my luggage once. Thats when the United flight from Calgary To Denver then to LA got cancelled because of a snowstorm in Denver. We found 3 more seats on an Air Canada flight direct to LA, but our bags never switched flights! We slept in the hotel that night with nothing! The next day our friend George got our bags and brought them to the terminal right before we got on the cruise ship. Phew.

[Oni0nNews]

Can someone please tell me how writing ur info in a Locked bag will help the airliners identify it and not loose it?!!

[Artaphernes]

airport securitys favourite mode of opening bags: not a zip a chainsaw#

thats hw they get in lol

[Mcstikman]

Because even if it is locked. It will be opened no matter what as long as it sitting there untagged it will be opened to be searched

[smiliesbw]

you cant lock your bag unless you have a tsa approved lock. that means they have a key.

[Toon999kinzpengwo]

good idea, when i went to Mexico, the id on the outside got teared and shredded to bits!

[Shipocute]

I followed the 0:93 method.

I wrote my name, flight number, Airline and even my phone number. Sure it felt more comfortable than ever.

[phonix032]

hehe put a recorder that has a rattlesnakes rattler at the highest volume hehe that will work.

[amtrakfan2]

At the Airport in Las Vegas they use the RFID system to track your luggage at all times

[phasilian]

I doubt that this is a proper way to track a specific piece of luggage through the system. RFID readers still have significant problems to identify all tags. And if you have a reading security of lets say 99.5% that's not what you want in a 100% industry.

[gurielzeigerman]

This guy is a tard

[DrHMFIC]

I swear I keel anyone who toucha my bags!

[phonix032]

LOL whats in it that is making u so violent?

[DrHMFIC]

I checked your channel, so I know you'll understand: a large can of homemade adobe sauce, but don't tell ANYone!

[weumumaway]

@DrHMFIC You certainly wouldn't win any fights with a rampie.

[XDlosDominicans]

@DrHMFIC And then it was an identical bag that was actually theirs.

[alozzzy1213]

@DrHMFIC Well then you must never wanna fly

[wineyamehouse]

I keep a live wiener dog in my luggage so I can keep track of it - from the barking & whining. And no one else tries to claim it.

[NikshMarcelo98]

Hehehe

[DaibloDBZ]

Lol iMovie

[BTownMiss]

a bomb? I always tie colourfull shit to the bag.. I've seen all kinds of things that people do with that.. socks.. bandanas some people even put loads of that curled shit you use for wrapping gifts..

I guess the inside the bag thing isnt a bad idea either but it wont help you when the things coming around the turnstyle..

[DasGreenCow]

what would you suggest about tying a colored handkerchief to the bag? Good or bad idea?

[Atoweha]

lol? security might think its a bomb?

[JordiekinsxxReal]

why would they think its a bomb?

but anyways a conveyer belt could easily eat that up too.

[shaneissohot]

That's what I always do. Doesn't seem to pose any problems whatsoever for me. Just make sure you tie it tight so it doesn't fall off.

[mrmadmanmr]

It would probably be the best idea so that you could identify your bag right away once it gets out of the conveyor belt. Make sure you tie it tightly and securely so that it won't fall off, like shaneissohot said.

[khoihq]

i flied from Canada to Vietnam every summer and the tag they give you to put on your luggage is hard to tear

[noncommittaljunkie]

A colored handkerchief? Thats only going to help you identify your bag, which you can probably do anyway what with it being your bag. I guess it does mean that the airline would find it easier to identify you're bag if it was lost, but not much more so then describing to them the bag itself. I agree with this guy, the best thing to do is put your name/number on it.

[Shipocute]

I agree with you and with his advice. Actually I used his advice in my trip to London. I traveled with my friends and teachers, they did prepared well and guess what?! They even didn't knew that there was an ID tag in every airport... I had to give them every single one, even to my teachers, how can you call them guides if they don't know that thing really existed?!

[NikshMarcelo98]

Not a handkerchief but a ribbon but some people might take it off. Last time i travelled they took off our label (on a masking tape) and put another one! but thank God no one took it.

It's a good and bad idea because as i said some may take out the Ribbon or there may be dozens of passengers on board having the same ribbon

[humanedomain]

that is GREAT advice!

i do the same when mailing packages: inside the package is a TO/FR slip

keep the ideas coming! thx

[caltic]

You can't carry on! Everything is a No-No for carring on...like hairspray, anything liquid...!

[HRH787]

nobody cares about you
