leaving tomorrow for the china - what are the blue straps for (in THE box)

[fongds]

Almost finished packing!! But trying to figure out what the blue straps are for?? They came in the box from ABD....but not quite sure what we are suppose to do with them?? thanks Diane

I think, they are luggage straps, wrap around your luggage in case a lock fails and it avoids your suitcase from spilling the contents? Or maybe it is just there to make your luggage visible?

I believe that White Rose is correct on both counts. I've never used them b/c you can't miss my luggage, but they do help with spotting suitcases when they're coming around the baggage carousel.

Enjoy the adventure in China!

I'm envious! But I am leaving for Peru on Saturday so I can't complain. China is next on my list, hopefully next year. Travel Safe!

Thanks....I think we're leaving those straps at home!

We left them home too. Lol. I was afraid they would get caught on the luggage carousel!

We actually used them on our recent Baltics cruise add-on. We were gone for 26 days, and our rolling duffels were stuffed full, so I thought it might help if they burst open (they didn't, luckily!). Plus they made our luggage super easy to spot on the carousel. No issues with them getting caught up in anything. I plan to keep using them.
