Abstract
A luggage locating system for facilitating location of luggage within an airport. The luggage locating system includes a remote transceiver assembly comprising a first transceiver means for transmitting a unique remote signal. A base transceiver assembly comprises a second transceiver means for transmitting a unique luggage signal. The second transceiver means transmits the unique luggage signal to the first transceiver means when the second transceiver means has received the unique remote signal from the first transceiver means. The first transceiver assembly comprises an indicator assembly. The indicator assembly is operationally coupled to the first transceiver means whereby the first transceiver means actuates the indicator assembly for indicating to the user that the base transceiver assembly is within a predetermined range of the user when the first transceiver means receives the unique luggage signal from the second transceiver means.
