Traveling can be stressful, and the last thing you need is to arrive at your destination without your luggage. Here are a few tips to help ensure your bag arrives safely with you:
- Choose the right luggage
Investing in durable and distinctive luggage that is easy to identify can make all the difference. This would help prevent your items from getting damaged during transportation, as well as reduce the chances of a stranger mistaking your bag for their own.
- Use luggage tags
Labelling each bag with clear and legible tags that include your name, phone number, email, and address can help ensure your luggage will make its way to you at your destination.
Pro tip: include a secondary tag inside your luggage with the same information in case the external tag gets detached.
- Take Photos
Taking photos of your luggage can be useful should you need to identify it and ask staff for help.
- Lock your Luggage
Using TSA- Approved luggage locks would help mitigate the risk of theft, as they add a layer of security and may deter casual tampering.
- Pack smart
Keep essential items such as important documents, medication, and a change of clothes in your carry-on just in case you lose your checked-in bags.
- Get Insurance
Prevent the risk of financial burden by getting travel insurance, allowing you to relax knowing that you`re covered even in the worst case scenario.
