Start with the basics to make sure your luggage can quickly be identified if it gets misplaced.
🔹Remove old airline tags and stickers
🔹Label your luggage clearly with a distinct luggage tag
🔹Place a piece of paper with your contact info inside your suitcase
🔹Take a photo of your suitcase before your trip
Keep all essentials in your carry-on.
Documents, electronics, jewelry, and medication should never be stored in checked luggage. Keep them in your carry-on bag where you can keep an eye on them.
This will help you get through the first 48 hours if your check-in luggage gets lost.
Here's a list of the most common basics:
🔹Wallet and IDs
🔹Basic toiletries (a toothbrush, a deodorant)
🔹Medication
🔹Phone charger
🔹Change of underwear
And of course, add a Chipolo tracker to your luggage as well!
What to do before you leave:
🔹Make a digital and physical copy of your passport (and other travel documents)
🔹Get travel insurance that covers passport replacements
🔹Check the location of the nearest embassy
What to do while you travel:
🔹Always keep your passport in the same pocket
🔹Don’t put it in the pocket of the seat in front of you on a plane
🔹Don’t carry it with you while sightseeing
🔹Don’t keep your passport or wallet in the back pocket of your pants
🔹Don’t keep all your documents in the same place
Minimize how much you carry around with you while you travel.
When it comes to hand luggage, less is more! It’s much easier to keep an eye on your things when you don’t have your hands full with your bag, water, jacket, and travel pillow…
Safe travels!
