Travel Tip: Luggage Tracking

With all the innovative luggage tracking technology out there, losing a checked bag is no longer a worry. By investing in one of these tracking tools, you will save yourself a lot of stress while traveling.

There’s a new tool called the Trakdot Luggage tracker that goes inside your checked suitcase. It tells you exactly where your bag is in real time. There’s a similar product called LugLoc. The both track your bag from inside using GSM technology,  what cell phones use.  And the battery lasts about 40 days.

Trakdot™ Luggage is constantly monitoring the cellular network to determine its city location. When you fly, Trakdot™ Luggage knows and goes to sleep. Upon arriving at your destination, Trakdot™ Luggage wakes up and reports its new location. Depending on your preferences, a text-message or email is sent to you confirming that your luggage has arrived with you.

LugLoc has a 24/7 Alarm Center manned by a staff with many years of expertise in luggage retrieval. The company has created a unique device to be placed inside your bag. The LugLoc device will provide the Alarm Center the accurate information where it is in less than one minute. Once the bag is located, the Alarm Center will interact with the airlines to follow up the process of returning your luggage.

Of course, all these products come at a price and a monthly fee, about $70.00 a year.  For a cheaper option, go with those luggage tracking IDs from Victorinox or Okoban. Register your tag, and if someone finds your lost bag, they can call a number and the company will reunite you with your bag.

None of these options are foolproof. After all, if the airline ships your bag to Boise instead of Boston, it’s up to them to get it back to you. So double check the airport code when you check it, and make sure you’ve got a luggage tag with your name and phone number clearly marked on the outside and one inside also.
