My cheap backpack zipper gave out in the Lisbon airport

It happened right after I landed, and I had to use a bunch of safety pins to keep it shut for the whole trip. Has anyone found a good way to fix a broken zipper pull without replacing the whole bag?

Seen this happen so many times, feels like cheap zippers are designed to fail right at the start of a trip.

Come on, it's just a zipper, not the end of the world.

Ever notice how @pipergonzalez is right and the zipper always gives up right when you're trying to leave the house? It's like they have a tiny sensor that knows you're in a hurry. My backpack did that last week and I had to use a safety pin like it was 1995.
