Luggage Labels

IM going on vacation later this year and was told NOT THE tourist operator labels for our suitcases, THESE ARE MORE required now? Where do I get these MYSELF

Do not count on the paper labels of the airline - for a stable weather resistant tag and write information about it. Try to get something unique - if it gets lost, you want something to identify your bag hundreds of "black 22" Rollerbag with red handle attached to the "ribbon - lol get the picture?
And yes place the same information inside your luggage, including your flt # 's / dates of travel / air / and destination coordinates (address, phone, etc.)

they print the tag on arrival, but having your own is a good idea

I bought mine from Boots - it was Neon so I can see the bag easier, I always put a ribbon on the bag easier to see too.

Do not shout, it's rude.

Do not shout! They are not mandatory but may be useful if your luggage is missing.

In addition to putting a label on the outside of your luggage, you should always put another label on the inside as well.
This is so that bags can be easily identified if they happen to lose.
