Loosing your luggage can be frustrating and expensive so follow these simple steps to help protect yourself and your family when traveling.
Name Your Luggage
Your luggage is as unique as you are, so why not give it a name? Sounds funny- but you would be surprised by the number of travelers who forget to give their luggage an identity. Make your suitcase stand out with a large colorful luggage tag. Want to be different, personalize your luggage with a bright color ribbon on the handle. Another idea is to use different color electrical tape and make your suite case really stand out. Remember we are all individuals, your luggage should reflect its unique identify also. There is nothing worse than standing at baggage claim and looking for your black suite case that looks like every other black suitcase out there...hmmm. Lost luggage does not make for happy travelers.
Hand Out Bag Assignments to Everyone in Your Family and Keep A Running Count
If you are traveling with more than one other person, chances are you'll be traveling with lots of luggage as well. To keep track of all your family's bags, make each child responsible for one bag as well as their carry-on. If you and your traveling partner do this as well, you can maintain an easier control of who is in charge of what. Be sure to take an occasional overall Bag Count as well.
Mix Up Your Luggage
Split your luggage between your suitcase and your travel companions and have your children or traveling buddies do the same. This way if you do lose a suitcase along the way at least you will have some of your personal belongings with you!
VERY IMPORTANT - don't forget to put your personal information inside your luggage also. Should your suite case be stripped of its identity, your identity needs to be inside.
