so that i can see it easily from the carousel, i usually put brightly-coloured ribbon around the handles.

i was wondering if you have a crazy way of noticing your luggage - i'd love some suggestions.

Fluorescent ribbon as it can be seen for miles. I used to put travel stickers on the case years ago, but that went out of fashion. Then bought an orange coloured case, but then they started producing more coloured suitcases, so now just tie bright fluorescent ribbon on the handles at least your case never gets mixed up with anyone elses.

Generally yarn or ribbons. You can use one of the belts made for this matter, the problem comes when TSA, opens the bag, and forgets to put the belt back on it. Or puts it on a similar looking bag, which comes out on the carousel. Another way to go is to buy some of the newer hideously colored luggage, that no one else has.

I never bother putting anything other than an address tag with only my name in BIG letters on my case, all the other cases coming off the carousel are covered in ribbons,bows,scrunchies and multi coloured belts.
I go away twice a year and never have any bother, Oops have i just jinxed myself.

I just use a bright pink luggage tag. That's it. I've never had an issue with someone walking off with my bag.

Since I've started traveling to Hawaii I've been buying luggage tags with Hawaiian themes (flowers, flish, turtles), but I usually only use these on my carry on.

I used to tie a ribbon around the handle, but then I just stopped buying black suitcases. :) Now I just choose ones in a less common color which makes things much easier.

I saw one case covered either in sprayed or felt tip pen graffiti... (for want of a better description).. there was no way any one would want to take that case of the carousel in error or otherwise... BUT what amazed me was the female it belonged too...
SHE WAS PRISTINE... the most elegant little dolly I've ever clapped eyes on..!!!

I tie a bright unique coloured rope or ribbon on it plus I put several name tags but the coloured unique ribbon or rope usually does the job.

A personal 'charm' (you can buy them in the jewlery dept of Kmart and are made for purses, etc) that I can recognize immediately along with the color, size and condition of my suitcases....

My father-in-law also used 'masking tape' in unique patterns...but it doesn't peel off all that well and leaves 'black lines' around the edges of the tape...but it IS a solution as well

I stick pieces of brightly-coloured tape diagonally across the case. Nearly everyone who uses tape sticks it up/down or across, rather than diagonal. And use a colour that is fairly horrid, that nobody else would use. (eg. lime green)

It's red and gray so it's already fairly distinctive, however the huge dent the bl**dy baggage handlers managed to knock into it is also a bit of a give-away!
