Tip of the Week
Tricks of the trade from customers like you

Making Pom-Poms

Join us every week for tips, tricks, and advice shared by customers like you. This week's tip is from Jeanette S.:

I have for many years made large pompoms for luggage identification. My trick is to make them not only for my own bags, but for all of the bags going on a family trip (we do this often, and have gone to Hawaii with fourteen people). It takes a lot of pompoms, but that way we could all watch for the bags on the carousel and sort them out later. We all stand in different areas around the claim carousel and just grab the cases with the right color IDs.
