It’s something that many of us carry with us luggage when we travel; a tag with our name and contact details in case the suitcase decides to take another trip.
Only one flight attendant has warned that there is a right and a wrong way to use a luggage tag, and that doing so could put your personal information at risk.
In a video on TikTokairline employee Ally said that travelers should always turn their ID card over on their bag so that the text is not visible to others.
“I don’t know why more people don’t do this,” Ally says in the clamp which has received thousands of likes.
“Always, always, always turn the information on your baggage card backwards. I can’t tell you how many people I see every day, with their information out there for everyone to see.”
Instead, she says that once you’ve entered your details on the card, you should put it in the tag backwards so it can’t be read.
That way, if you actually lose your bag, someone can pull out the tag and access your data if necessary.
In the comments, many people agreed with the advice and shared their own tactics for keeping track of their suitcase
“I don’t put my home address on that tag either. I set up a special email address instead,” one person revealed.
”Also, Mom and Dad taught me to put the same information in the suitcase, just in case the label got ripped off,” another suggested.
“Just buy one with a case and you won’t have a problem,” one person commented, while a fourth said they use an AirTag.
