Thousands of tourists lose their suitcases at airports every day.
To avoid trouble, it is important to take into account a few details in advance.
The Express portal, citing experts from 1st Move International, shared recommendations on luggage security.
Contact details in the suitcase
A note with contact details and travel itinerary is one of the most effective ways to secure your luggage.
The outer tag may get lost, but the note inside will help staff contact you.
Avoid transfers or choose longer connections.
Suitcases are more often lost during transfers, especially on busy days.
If possible, give preference to direct flights.
If a transfer is unavoidable, choose longer connections to allow staff time to move luggage.
Often luggage gets lost at the airport due to labeling confusion.
Before your flight, check that there are no old tags or stickers left on your suitcase that could create confusion.
Place important items in your carry-on baggage
Always leave tickets, medications, valuables and items in your carry-on luggage. This will relieve stress and make your trip more comfortable.
