Luggage I.D. question
Has anyone had a problem with putting their I.D. (name & address) on their luggage? My mother insists you never do that because the airport staff will know you're away & rob your home while you are gone. BUT you have to put your ID somewhere? Inside the suitcase? Also, my mother states you can't put locks on your suitcase anymore. Is this true?

Re: Luggage I.D. question
I've never put any ID in or on my luggage. But LOL at the idea of airport staff robbing your home.
And yeah, last time I flew we were asked if our luggage had locks, and one girl was told to remove them, or the airport/TSA/whatever would remove them for her.

Re: Luggage I.D. question
Hehe, that's exactly the reason we don't put the address there. Only our cell phone numbers
The only locks you're allowed to use are TSA approved locks

Re: Luggage I.D. question
We always put our name on them... but I like the idea of our cell phones much better!

Re: Luggage I.D. question
Definitely put only a TSA approved lock! I used a suitcase with a built-in lock one time, and they broke it!!
I put big Mickey tags on our luggages with our first name or nickname, with the first letter of our last name on ours with a big sharpie, and then our cell number...that's it. I know it sounds hilarious that these people will come loot the house, but I get a bit paranoid over that.

She is right. You can't put locks on the suitcase. Really, I have flown to WDW MANy times and have never had a issue with my house being robbed or my stuff in my suitcase being stolen. Who wants my underwear anyway?

Re: Luggage I.D. question
I've always put luggage tags with my name and address on it. Definately no locks!
I put my address on in case my luggage gets lost on the way home - they will ship it UPS to your home. (This has happened to me before). Also, I do think you are required to put ID on all luggage now. I never worried about the baggage handlers robbing my house as they see 1000s of pieces of luggage a day. If that was the case then I should also worry about my DD teachers, coaches, my newspaper carrier, my mailman, the UPS man, coworkers, etc...... who know that I am going away. Just make sure the house is locked tight, you leave lights on and have someone like a neighbor keep an eye on your house.

Re: Luggage I.D. question
Hmmmm I've always put our name, address and phone number on the tag and never had a problem. Never really cared to be honest with you. I bought TSA approved locks for our bags but I never put anything valuable in there anyway.

Re: Luggage I.D. question
I live far enought away from the airport that I really don't think we have to worry. If they want to drive 2+ hours then they've earned what ever they take.
I put a typed paper IN my luggage so it's there if needed. I use a big font and make it bold so it's easy to see what it is. I just leave the papers in my bags between trips so I don't have to do it every time. Each paper is half a sheet of paper and I put two in each, one in the front pocket and on in the bag.
