How to hide your personal info on your luggage

Every traveler desires peace of mind while in transit on an airline. But ironically, the way we try to protect our bags often leaves us exposed.

So what's wrong with the traditional luggage tag?

The average luggage tag shares your name, phone number and sometimes, home address. That means anybody who has access to your suitcase is going to be able to reach you, or your home.
Paper luggage tags are easily readable, can be easily photographed, and they never expire. In the event your bag becomes lost, presumable you want to be reachable — although you don't want to display your private life to your fellow travelers as your bag circulates on the airport carousel.

Real risks and not just theory

Earlier in 2023, a woman received an airport text, from a stranger, who simply read her phone number from their luggage tag. It went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Lost baggage is lamentably stressful. Having a random person contact you that you didn't invite — even worse with your home address visible to a stranger — is another level of vulnerability.
