1.
|
Avoid putting the following in checked baggage |
|
|
|
|
|
*
Valuables (cash, jewelry). Don't rely on suitcase locks;
they are easily defeated. |
|
|
|
|
|
*
Critical items (medicine, keys, passport, tour vouchers,
business papers). |
|
|
|
|
|
*
Irreplaceable items (manuscript, heirlooms). |
|
|
|
|
|
*
Fragile items (camera, eyeglasses, glass containers).
If these must be checked, wrap them
carefully in padding. |
|
|
|
|
|
*
Perishables |
|

2.
|
Even
if a bag is not lost, it may be delayed for a day or
two. It is wise to put items that you will need during
the first 24 hours in a carry-on. |
|
|
|
|
3.
|
Lock
your bags. |
|
|
|
|
4.
|
Put
a tag on the outside of your baggage with your name,
home address, and home and work phone numbers. The airlines
provide free stick-on tags. Most carriers also have
"privacy tags" which conceal this information from passersby.
|
|
|
|
|
5.
|
Check
with the airline for any limits it has on the size,
weight, or number of carry-on bags. |
|
|
|
|
6.
|
Inquire
about your flight; different airplanes can have different
limits. |
|
|
|
|
7.
|
Don't
pack anything in a carry-on bag that could be considered
a weapon (e.g., scissors, knife). |
