I don't know about you, but when I'm standing at the baggage collection point when I get off a plane, I'm never 100% confident that my suitcase will be there.
Last year alone 37 million pieces of luggage were lost worldwide. Remember the disastrous first few days at Heathrow's Terminal 5 and all the bags that got 'lost' there. Of all these lost suitcases, not all of them will ever find their rightful owners. Anything not reclaimed is auctioned off at a bizarre lucky dip auction where bidders don't see what is inside until they win. Not only that, there have been plenty bags, that had the airline looked inside, would have easily found their rightful owners!
So what can you do?
Well, for the price of a couple of cups of airline coffee, you can be sure to locate your bag when the airline can't with the Trace Me Luggage Tracker, a durable tag that securely fastens to your suitcase and sports a unique serial number and barcode.
This ensures that wherever in the world your bag has ended its lonely travels, it will wing its way back to you, and only you. No matter where your bag lands, the local handling official or police can scan your barcode, or read your registration number, and your name and details will pop up on the property ownership register at www.immobilise.com
You will then receive a text and email enabling you to tell the airline where your bag is, that they really should get their act together, and aren't you a clever smarty pants.
Now why don't the airlines do this themselves.
The Trace Me Luggage Tag is available for £11.99. more details
