Considering purchasing a new suitcase for your upcoming trip? Hold on! You may want to think twice about the hue you have chosen, or you may want to make an informed purchase. This is due to the fact that almost 40% of bags bought worldwide are black, which makes them infamously challenging to spot on baggage carousels, according to an Eminent poll.Jamie Frazer, a travel expert from the US summer camp Wild Packs, discusses why black luggage isn't the ideal choice in this aspect. He claims that while hard-sided black suitcases are the most prevalent worldwide, they are the most difficult to spot and are also the most likely to disappear. "You don't want your lost bag to be mistaken for the innumerable others.

"So, what should you do? To make your luggage stand out, Frazer suggests picking luggage with vibrant or distinctive markings. On baggage carousels, colorful suitcases are much easier to see amidst the sea of dark. He suggests affixing identifying indicators, such bright luggage tags, stickers, or patterned straps, to those attached to their black suitcases so that they may be clearly identified.Frazer suggests the following steps to reduce the likelihood that your suitcase will be misplaced or lost: 1. Arrive early: Checking in your luggage well in advance allows airline employees enough time to properly tag and load it. 2. Use secure luggage tags: Put your name, phone number, and email address on a clear, long-lasting tag. For safety concerns, do not include your home address. 3. Customize your bag: To make your bag stand out from the others, consider adding vibrant ribbons or hand-made posters.
