Address details in suitcase

It is very annoying when you arrive at your destination and you discover that apparently your suitcase has not traveled with you. Airlines do their best to prevent this from happening, but with the increasing traffic on airports it can occur that a suitcase doesn´t arrive in time at the (connecting) flight. Most passengers have labeled their suitcase with their home address. This is convenient when your suitcase misses the return flight, but when it misses the outbound flight, it might be difficult to retreive your staying address details. You can download a ready-for-use suitcase label to put in your suitcase, provided with your address details at destination.
