Travel tip: If you want your bags to be recognizable from a distance, cable ties come in a variety of colors, are unobtrusive, and are nearly indestructible.
@geraldcombs I use a multicoloured striped strap, but yeah, black suitcases can be a bit of a pain.

@geraldcombs

Now for some reason I'm wanting to see an official cable tie color alphabet, kind of like semaphores or resistor codes.. πŸ˜„

@geraldcombs I tend to avoid black/dark blue luggage, few people have bright yellow or purple ones
@geraldcombs fwiw some airport security systems (e.g. I Gusti Ngurah Rai in Bali) use cable ties like that to flag bags requiring extra screening upon collection/exit.
