Keeping Track of Luggage
Dear Readers: Here are some travel hints to help prevent you from LOSING YOUR LUGGAGE when traveling.
While the problems may be with the airline, airport or service you use, there are some steps you can take to help prevent luggage from being lost:
Remove old flight tags so there's no confusion about where your bag is going. Check that the correct destination tag is attached -- many sound the same: SBS (Steamboat Springs, Colo.) and SVS (Stevens Village, Alaska).
Put identification tags on the inside and outside of every piece of luggage.
Traveling with expensive luggage can catch the eye of thieves, especially if checking bags for overseas flights.
Do not leave your bags unattended for a minute! Keep them close, watch them carefully and always count the number of pieces, too.
Get to the luggage-claim area ASAP and claim your bags right away.
Take a picture of your bag or clip it from a catalog and keep it in your wallet. If your bag is lost, you can show someone what it looks like. Take photos of what's packed inside, too.
