Find your bags with the Luggage Locator
Want to know a really bad way to start your vacation? Kicking it off by wasting a huge chunk of time standing around trying to find your luggage when it comes down to the carousel. Perhaps if you have a bright yellow suitcase, it’s less difficult, but since a lot of luggage looks like pretty much everyone else’s luggage, it can be frustrating to try to find yours amid a sea of look-alikes. I don’t know about you but I don’t particularly enjoy hanging around airports. When I’ve arrived I want to GO and get on with my visit.
Enter the Luggage Locator Pro which you can purchase for $29.95.
You get a receiver and a transmitter. Attach the transmitter to your luggage. When you arrive at the airport and bags start spilling out, simply press the button on your receiver, then follow the beeping and the flashing light – it will help you locate your luggage much more quickly. If you require more than one transmitter, you can also buy extras for $14.95 each.
I wish I had had one of these when I was standing around the airport a few years ago, trying to find my very non-descript black suitcase!

O I so want/need this! Right now with my husband’s medical condition, we have to struggle with 9..that’s right NINE pieces of luggage – 7 checked, 2 carryon.
this would be a lifesaver attached to his primo med bag.
I do have a concern though – security is notoriously paranoid nowadays and I wonder if they would take kindly to folks having something that ‘beeps’ and ‘flashes lights’ in the baggage area.
Has anyone had to deal with that?
Second..I would love to have an intel chip installed in the luggage locator, so if my bag DID not make it, it would send a text message to my cell: and notify me which flight it will be on so I can retrieve it.
I am not bold enough to carry fluorescent colored baggage. And this stuff seems pretty interesting but I wonder if airport authorities will be comfortable with a black suitcase that blinks and beeps.
I like the idea, but you can achieve the same in a much simpler way. If you don’t go with the bright color, you can just spend some time individualizing your luggage with stickers, bands and other staff.
