Luggage Name Tag should include?
What information should you have on your luggage ID tag? Your home address and phone, so they can contact a answering machine. Or place your itinerary in it? Or just a name and cell phone number? What do the experts suggest? 
Thanks
Thanks

Outbound flight: On external tags, I provide name, flight number/date and contact info in the destination city. Inside the luggage I'd include more details.
Return flight: I understand the security concerns for those who live in a stand-alone house, but I live in a well-guarded apartment building, so I don't mind putting the building address. I use a friend's phone numbers simply to make sure that any call would be answered.

I list my office address, to avoid broadcasting the fact that my house has fewer people in it than usual. I list my cell phone number, since it roams and is not listed anywhere as associated with my address.

My luggage tag includes the following on a label
Steven Frischling
USA: +1(415)738-7786
EUR:+44(0)7092 384045
HKG:+(852)3678-9948
[email protected]
I figure phone numbers that can reach me anywhere in the world and an e-mail address should work.

I have my name, my home airport, and my cell number. I always marvel at people who put their whole address on their bag tag. I always thought it was great advertising to people that YOU AREN"T HOME, ROB MY HOUSE.
Inside my suitcase I have the same information but I will also include a copy of my itinerary......

I would not write my home address or home phone. I would write my business address or a number that can be easily changed. A business card sounds like a logic choice.
