Checked Luggage
Travel light. Smaller bags are easier to carry and stow and mean shorter
waits at baggage claim and easier security/customs inspections.
Keep your luggage with you until it's checked or stowed.
Don't carry on or pack anything for anyone else or agree to watch a
stranger's bag.
Remove old claim checks to avoid confusion.
Identify luggage inside and outside with your name business address and
telephone number. Inside, include a copy of your itinerary.
Check your luggage early to ensure your bags make your originating and
connecting flights.
Travel insurance is important if you are traveling with valuables not
covered under the airline's normal luggage allowance. Check with your
travel agent for information on obtaining a supplemental policy.
