Travel Accessories FAQ
What are the essential travel accessories?
The 5 essential accessories: luggage tag (identification), GPS tracker (AirTag/Tile), extra TSA lock, anti-loss strap, suitcase cover (for long trips or rain).
What is a GPS tracker for a suitcase used for?
A GPS tracker slipped into your suitcase allows you to locate your luggage in real time via your phone's app. Essential if the airline loses your suitcase: you know exactly where it is (sometimes on the other side of the world) and can help the airline's customer service.
What's the best tracker for your suitcase?
The 3 best trackers in 2026: Apple AirTag (if you have an iPhone, best network), Tile Mate (iOS and Android compatible), Chipolo (good value for money). 1-year lithium battery on each model.
Can you put an AirTag in checked luggage?
Yes, allowed in checked baggage by IATA and most airlines. The AirTag's lithium battery (<100 Wh) complies with regulations. Exception: Lufthansa attempted to ban it in 2022 but reversed its decision. Air France, KLM, Delta, Emirates: allowed.
How does a luggage tag with a tracker work?
A luggage tag with tracker combines two functions: visual identification (name, phone) + real-time geolocation. The tracker slips into a dedicated pouch on the tag, invisible from the outside. Double security in case of loss.
Is a TSA lock mandatory?
No, not mandatory but almost essential for the USA: without a TSA lock, customs can force open your suitcase (break the lock) during inspections. With a TSA lock, they open it with their universal key and close it again, without damage.
What is a luggage cover for?
A nylon suitcase cover protects the shell from scratches and impacts in the hold, keeps it dry in the rain, and helps identify your suitcase (pattern or bright color). Especially useful for premium suitcases or long trips.
How to protect your suitcase from scratches?
2 solutions: (1) a full suitcase cover (most effective), (2) clear plastic wrap (stretchable, disposable, applied at airports for €10). The reusable cover is more ecological and economical in the long run.
What are compression straps used for?
The internal compression straps keep belongings in place and reduce volume by 20-30%. All GYL hardside suitcases come equipped with them as standard. For a suitcase without them, additional straps can be purchased.
How to identify your suitcase with a sticker?
A customizable sticker stuck on the shell allows you to identify your suitcase at a glance on the baggage carousel. GYL vinyl stickers are rain and scratch resistant. Removable with a hot spoon if you want to change them.
What organizer for your suitcase?
Packing cubes (or organizers) allow you to separate tops, bottoms, underwear, shoes, and cosmetics into distinct compartments. Useful for long or family trips. Significant time-saver when unpacking at the hotel.
Can I take a toiletry bag in the cabin?
Yes. Toiletries in containers under 100 ml are allowed in the cabin in a clear, zip-top bag (1 liter max). If containers exceed this limit (e.g., a 250 ml shampoo bottle), the toiletries must be placed in checked luggage. See our list of prohibited items.
What accessories for a plane trip?
Plane essentials: TSA lock, GPS tracker, luggage tag, liquid toiletries bag <100ml, travel pillow, sleep mask, Bluetooth headphones, portable charger, documents (passport, tickets). All available in our travel accessories.
What accessories do I need for a train journey?
Train essentials: luggage tag (SNCF or personal), anti-theft strap to secure your suitcase to the luggage rack, book/e-reader, snacks, water bottle. Checks are less strict than on planes, no need for TSA locks or limited liquid bags.
Are GYL accessories compatible with all brands?
Oui. Tous nos accessoires (étiquettes, cadenas, housses, sangles, stickers) sont universels et compatibles avec toutes les marques de valises. Les étiquettes se fixent à toute poignée standard (10-40 mm), les cadenas aux zips à double curseur.
What does the GYL warranty cover for accessories?
The GYL warranty applies: for life on TSA padlocks and leather tags, 2 years on covers and stickers (normal wear and tear). Contact customer service with a photo and invoice for any replacement.
