Like many other posters here, whenever we travel, I put AirTags in all our checked bags as well as hand carry (in case we lose them or they get stolen). I also made my own sturdy luggage tags with a laminator that has our contact info on it. For each flight, I print a sticky label with the dates, airlines and flight numbers and attach it to the tag. Then, if the airline label ever gets ripped off, there is at least, some way to identify it. So far so good even after 100 or so trips. My family chuckles about it when we’re packing but I think deep down, they understand it might one day save a trip. We also have these reusable stretchy nylon covers for the checked baggage. As well as protecting the cases and making them easier to identify (neon colors), I’d like to think that makes opening them less attractive to airline baggage thieves than all the other ones but who knows.
