the airport will place tags on your luggage as to which flight it is supposed to be on, so that there is a chance that your luggage will arrive at the same destination as you. I always place something inside my case with the information of where I am going and where I'm from. If I were you I would place a tag with your destination information on the outside of you case.

you can mark ur suitcase by ur self to recognize it but they must give you stickers or something like that to put it on ur suitcase.

It's always safe to label your suitcase on your own.

The Airport gives you destination tags - Also, if you are checking your luggage, do yourself a favor and add a colorful ribbon or name tag to the outside of your bag. It's amazing how many people have bags that look just like yours, and a distinctive mark will save you lots of time!

Add your own tags with your destination address and your home address on it. You will thank yourself in case the checked luggage gets lots and needs to be delivered

The airline will tag your checked luggage with their own printed barcoded tags too
