To secure your luggage
A luggage scale
If you’re prone to overpacking like I am, give yourself some added peace of mind with a digital luggage scale; it’ll let you know how much damage your souvenirs did before arriving at the check-in counter on the way home. I recently used this one from Etekcity on a trip to Charleston and it gave me a nice warning that my bag was nearly overweight (no extra fees here!).

A luggage tracker
Speaking of luggage, it’s a smart idea to attach a smart tag to your checked bag so you can easily track it. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your personal belongings made it safely to the right destination, and are right where you left them when you venture outside your accommodations.

A luggage connector
Whether you’re traveling solo or with kids, using a luggage connector to keep your suitcases looped together makes navigating through the airport a breeze. This three-piece set of luggage straps allow you to attach multiple suitcases together—and it’s super simple to attach to any carry-on or checked bag.

A luggage tag
Always travel with a luggage tag on your suitcase. It’s helpful if your bag is lost and makes spotting your suitcase on a luggage carousel easier. (If you want to make your luggage tag even easier to spot, I recommend personalizing it with your initials or snagging one in a bright colorway.)
