Custom Luggage Tag | $17

These luggage tags can be personalized in a million different ways: color, name, airline, flag, etc. They’re a great gift for aircrew, as they make it easy to ID luggage during chaotic bag drags when everyone’s suitcases look exactly the same.

Ideal for aircrew who need to keep their caffeine-intake continuous, nothing keeps coffee (or tea!) hotter than a Yeti. These can be personalized with their name, aircraft, and/or type of wings, and they’re available in several different sizes and colors.
