You do normally get tags to put on the bags. You can give the people at the desk your baggage claim tickets and they will find your bags. My son did this with one of his bags in May because they only sent two luggage tags and he had three bags. I think they made a copy of them and gave either the copy or the original back to my son. I would do something to the bags to make them stand out a little as they also ask for a description I think. Maybe you could tie yellow ribbons to them since that it the color of the luggage tags. Or you could take and print out a picture of them if you have that ability before you leave and give the picture to the ME people at the desk. Hope you have a good trip - remember to take anything your will definitely need in the first few hours of your trip in your carryon.
