Luggage Tabs?

[EvertonCJ]

We fly with VA on August 2nd. We booked the flights through Continental as part of the code share agreement. We have received e-tickets by e-mail from Continental, but nothing else. How do we get luggage tabs for our cases? Should we expect anything fron Virgin? I would appreciate your advice.

The ones issued by travel agents are usually just paper and although they usually don't, they can just tear and come right off.

I always use my own. I know that SemiChem has a stand with summer/travel accessories. They have plastic luggage tags in packs of 2 for £1. You just write on the paper insert and close it up again and can re use them on other trips. One reason I don't use the travel agent issued tags is that they display all your details openly whereas the others are concealed and have to actually be opened to find out.

If you book flight only you don't get luggage labels - have been making my own the last 7 years!

You only seem to get luggage labels if you book a package.

You can pick some up at check in or you can make you own.

I enjoy making my own as I personalise them with clip art and they are then nice and easy to spot!

Yes, I second this. If you don't have enough confidence in your creative skills, you can go to www.themouseforless.com and print ready made sheets in MS Word documents. You just need to put your details in, either before or after you print. You can laminate them or use clear adhesive contact wrap to cover them.

I am on the hunt for some lime green fabric paint to do some mickey heads ..... That is for spotting the black suitcases on the carousel.

We received an e-mail today from Disney which has templates for making your own labels. I think we will try to make our own (or my wife and daughters will). Thanks for all of your help.

I love Natalie's stuff. How big do you print them? I wonder if I printed some on iron on paper if they would adhere to fabric suitcases (they are not hard shell). I want to make the cases stand out

we printed them onto t shirts so we matched and had them about 10cm2, with names and address on back, how about some fabric pens and draw mickey heads on cases? a couple of quid from hobbycraft, my old case had gold mickeys on it, v easy to recognise

It goes completely against my usual trend of not carrying or wearing "gaudy" things, but luggage is one situation where I actually want it to look (a) obvious to me and (b) like the last thing anyone else would want to be seen carrying My ex DH wouldn't have any of it and I cannot tell you how many times we stood at Heathrow customer services filling in forms for a stanard black case that had accidentally been lifted, leaving their similar one behind instead. I was not amused the time when it was DD's little black case - she was a few months old and it took 2 days for them to get it to us.

Do the fabric colour pens show up nicely on black fabric?

 

[scojos]

yeah mate, no probs they show up very well

In that case I shall be making a virtual trip to my dear friend eBay Thank you. Do all the colours show fine on black?

we use fabric paints on black at school in textiles, depends on the brand, white can be a bit pants, but you could use tippex as it works
other colours are cool, im a hot pink girl myself

No need to paint lime green mickey's on our cases - they are bright lime green samsonsite ones.

They were a great price from the outlet store in orlando and whilst some people make sarcastic comments we can see them a mile off on the carousel.

I LIKE the rude remarks about my luggage.

1. Easy to spot
2. Not easy to pick up by accident
3. Last choice of luggage to pick up on purpose
