Luggage tags may seem like a trivial travel accessory, but they are a must-have for easily finding your suitcase at the airport or if an airline loses your bag. And, if you’re on the hunt for a sentimental present, there are plenty of options that can be customized to include a giftee’s initials, name, special dates, or a personal message. 

Whether for a celebration or just because, there’s a bag tag for all types of travelers.

We test a lot of travel products here at Travel + Leisure, so we looked at our favorite luggage brands to find high-quality tags, too.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What should you write on a luggage tag?

    The best information to put on a luggage tag is a name, phone number, and email for someone to contact you in the event your suitcase gets lost. Steer clear of adding an address to the tag for security purposes. If you're gifting a customized luggage tag, you might want to stick with initials or a name only so your recipient can add, and easily update, their other details.

  • How do I attach a luggage tag?

    Most luggage tags come with a buckle or loop strap to attach the badge to the handle of a bag. The straps are usually adjustable and you'll want to make sure the fit is tight and secure to prevent it from getting caught on anything in transit.
