Introduction

You’ve planned your trip and packed your bags. Now it’s time to head off on your adventure! The key to having a smooth trip is making sure that your luggage arrives with you once you reach the airport. This means checking it in well ahead of time, packing smartly and keeping track of each piece so that you know where it went if something goes wrong with one of them.

Make sure you have a good label on each bag: your name and contact information, with phone number and email address.

• Use a permanent marker to write on the label. The ink will not rub off, and it will be easier to read than messy handwriting or stickers.
• Write your name and contact information in large, clear letters on each bag. A phone number and email address are helpful as well, but even if you only have one set of contact info for all your luggage, it’s better than nothing!
• Make sure that the label is on the outside of each bag so it can be easily read by anyone who sees it.

Put something inside that helps you identify the bag quickly.

Put something inside that helps you identify the bag quickly.

One of the best ways to do this is by putting a label inside your luggage. A simple piece of paper with your name and contact information can help airport staff locate you if they find your lost luggage.

Another common way people mark their bags is by attaching a tag to the handle or zipper pull, but these methods may not be as effective at identifying things, especially if they get lost or stolen in-transit somewhere else along their journey from where they were dropped off (like on a bus or train).

A third option is attaching an ID tag to the outside of the bag using either Velcro or some other kind of fastener so it will still be attached when someone else tries taking it off afterwards!

Use different colored tape on your bags vs other people with the same name on theirs.

• Use different colored tape on your bags vs other people with the same name on theirs.
• Use a unique color for each person in your family.
• Use a unique color for each bag if you’re traveling with multiple pieces of luggage.

Put an extra label inside the bag so if the outer one comes off, you still have it.

You should put a small label inside your bag so that if the outer one comes off, you can still identify it.

Make sure that it is not visible from the outside and make sure you have enough space on there for your name and contact info.

If you’re traveling with more than one person, use their names instead of yours because if they lose their luggage too, they can easily find it!

If you arrive at your destination and do not get your luggage, ask for help at the airport. They will help you find it and re-route it to your final destination.

If your luggage is missing, ask for help at the airport. They will be able to help you find it and re-route it to your final destination. If they find it in a few days, some airlines will give a credit for a future trip if you file a claim before leaving the airport.

They will also help you file a claim if it is permanently lost. Even if they find it in a few days, some airlines will give a credit for a future trip if you file a claim before leaving the airport.

• You can save time and money by checking your luggage yourself. This way, you’ll know what to expect when going through security and where to look for your bags at baggage claim upon arrival at your destination.

Takeway: Whether you travel once or multiple times per year figuring out how to check your luggage and find it once your arrive at your destination can save a lot of time, stress and make the vacation go more smoothly.

• Make sure you know where your luggage is at all times. A good way to keep track of this is by writing down what each bag looks like including any damage (if there is any) and then putting a note in it that says: “This belongs to so-and-so.” You can also put some identifying item inside like a piece of clothing or something else that will help identify it when you get there.
• Make sure you have good labels on each bag with both your name and other contact information so if anything happens they can call the right person back home immediately!
• Use different colored tape vs other people with the same name on theirs too so they don’t mistake which one belongs to whom

check your bags the morning you leave to avoid long lines.

If you are checking in your luggage, check in early so that you can avoid long lines. The earlier you check in, the less stressed out everyone will be.

You should also avoid checking in at the last minute because it puts stress on everybody involved and increases the likelihood of missing your flight or having lost luggage when you arrive at your destination.

checking your luggage

• *Check your luggage.*
• When you check in, make sure that you have your flight ticket and boarding pass. You should also be prepared with all of the necessary baggage tags and IDs for each bag. The last thing anyone wants is to be unable to find their bags because they forgot to put on a tag or ID. If you’re traveling with family or friends, make sure everyone checks in together so that everyone’s belongings can be located quickly when needed at an airport – no one wants to spend hours trying to find their lost luggage!
• If it’s possible for you, try checking in online before arriving at the airport. This can save time when it comes down to waiting in line upon arrival because most airlines allow passengers who use this method of checking into flights early enough (usually 72 hours) before departure time will often receive priority seating on flights as well as other benefits such as priority baggage handling services and access privileges through security checkpoints during peak traffic times such as holidays or during busy travel seasons like spring break vacations.*

Check your airline’s policy about what you can and can’t pack in your carry-on bag.

The first thing to check is your airline’s policy about what you can and can’t pack in your carry-on bag. Most airlines have a limit on the number of carry-on bags, usually one carry on and one personal item. This means that if you’re checking two bags, it will probably be at least one bag too many for your flight to allow you to bring both of them as carry-ons.

A carry-on baggage should fit under the seat in front of you, or in an overhead bin if there is room available on board. If something won’t fit under a seat or into an overhead bin then it may be considered “oversized” and not allowed onboard at all (or only allowed if purchased as part of checked baggage).

You may be limited to one carry-on bag and one personal item. Your carry-on bag should fit under the seat in front of you, or in an overhead bin.

Never pack these items in checked baggage or carry-on bags: flammable items, weapons or sharp objects, aerosol cans, or explosives.

Carry-on baggage should fit under the seat in front of you, or in an overhead bin. Make sure your carry-on doesn’t exceed the maximum dimensions for these compartments (9″ x 17″ x 22″). If it does, check it.

If you can’t get a bag to fit in a bin, ask for help from an airline employee. It may be possible to rearrange seats so that your carry-on can be placed under one of them instead of being checked as luggage.

Never pack these items in checked baggage or carry-on baggage: flammable items, weapons or sharp objects, aerosol cans, or explosives.

You should never pack these items in checked baggage or carry-on baggage:

• Explosives
• Flammable items
• Weapons and sharp objects, such as knives, axes, and scissors.
• Aerosol cans.

Luggage should be locked and keys kept with you while traveling.

The best way to protect your luggage and keep it in good shape is to lock it. There are many products on the market that can be used for this purpose, including locks with combination codes or locks with keys. You should always have at least one key on you when traveling, in case of an emergency (such as a delayed flight). If you lose any piece of luggage while traveling, it’s important that you make sure all of its contents are accounted for before reporting the loss or damage.

If there is damage to your suitcase and/or its contents, do not leave them unsecured in the airport terminal—and definitely don’t walk away from them! Always be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on anything personal belonging to yourself or anyone else within eyesight at all times.

Get your luggage after collecting it on a carousel at the airport – do not go to your next destination with it still at the airport!

As you exit the plane, you might be tempted to leave your luggage behind and head for your next destination. This is a mistake! You should always get your suitcase at the airport before leaving.

If you don’t retrieve it at the airport, someone else could easily take it or lose it while they’re waiting in line at baggage claim or putting their things away. They may also be traveling with children who are more interested in playing than packing up all of their belongings into suitcases and backpacks. It’s best if everyone waits together while watching over each other’s luggage.

follow these tips to make sure that traveling is convenient for you

Once you are on your way, here are some tips to make sure that traveling is convenient for you:

• Make sure that each bag has a good label on it. Your name and contact information, with phone number and email address.
• Put something inside that helps you identify the bag quickly. I put my driver’s license in each one so if I get off at an airport or train station, I can pick out all my bags easily by opening them up one by one and looking for my license to confirm which is mine. Another option is putting photos of family members in each one; if they don’t know how to say “thank you!” in another language (like me), then perhaps seeing a smiling face will help them remember their manners!
• Use different colored tape on your bags vs other people with the same name on theirs (e.g., green or purple). This will also help differentiate between yours when checking through security scanners too—but don’t forget about those liquids though!
