Just the possibility of lost luggage can put a damper on any vacation. And while most of the time, the airline can help track down your bag, wherever it might’ve gone, the peace of mind a personal tracking device offers can make a world of difference. To help you keep the tightest eye possible on your belongings while traveling, we’ve rounded up the best options to electronically track your luggage — including smart suitcases with built-in trackers — so your bags will never be truly lost again.
If you’re looking for a suitcase that has it all, this is the one. The SC1 Carry-On from Planet Traveler not only features a tracking device, but also has a robotic TSA lock system and an anti-theft alarm, so if you and your bag separate, your baggage alerts your phone of its whereabouts (the suitcase also sounds an alarm for added dramatic effect). Beyond its security features, the suitcase also includes a battery and mobile device charging port.
This TSA-approved luggage tracker is small but mighty. Place it inside your bag and connect the app on your phone to keep an eye on your suitcase’s whereabouts. You can also use the tracker on your children’s backpacks, your vehicles and other valuables.
Louis Vuitton suitcases are an investment, so it should come as no surprise that the designer also makes an impressive suitcase tracker. The Louis Vuitton Echo allows you to keep track of your bags via your smartphone and notifies you if your luggage makes its way to the correct airport (or not).
This stylish suitcase comes with the exclusive Tumi Tracer, which works to help connect Tumi luggage owners with lost or even stolen bags. Each bag has its own special code recorded in Tumi’s special database (along with your contact details). That way, when luggage is reported to Tumi, their customer service team can help track it down.
If your favorite travel companion — your luggage, of course — doesn’t come with a built-in tracking device, you can still reap the benefits of smart technology. Case in point: The LugLoc Tracker exists to keep an eye on your bag’s whereabouts. What’s more, this luggage tracking device comes with one month free on its service plan.
Tile trackers are useful for almost anything — including suitcases. The Tile Mate can easily attach to luggage and connect to the brand’s app. From there, you can ring the tile (if your bags are close by), check its location on the map and even ask the Tile community for assistance finding it. One single Tile Mate costs $25, but you can get a pack of four for $60 or a pack of eight for $110.
