Embark on a worry-free flight with the knowledge that the contents of your luggage - and the luggage itself - are safe.
Make a list of the contents in your bags and keep it with you.
Pack a copy of your itinerary, including your destination, business address and emergency contact information, in your suitcase.
Lock your luggage.
Rip off old luggage and airline tags to avoid potential confusion.
Tag your luggage inside and out. The tags should include the following information: name, business address and telephone number.
Tie a distinctive ribbon around the handles of your luggage or decorate it in a way that provides quick identification.
Pack valuables, such as jewelry, medication, cellular phones and travel documents, in your carry-on luggage.
Remove any dangling straps that might catch and tear from all the bags you plan to check. Cinch straps of a backpack tightly so they don't get torn during transport.
Remember to get for a claim stub for every checked bag.
