When traveling by plane, bus or train, most people place their identification tag on the handle of their luggage.
However, the third most common luggage-related problem experienced during air travel involves luggage handles being ripped off by automated conveyors. Of course, if your identification tag is on the handle, the bag becomes unidentifiable.
As a result, it's a good idea to place some identification inside your bag, as well as on the handle. If there's no identification on the outside of a bag, airline officials will often look inside it for alternate ID.
