How To Prevent Suitcase Bag Loss on your travels
March 4, 2009
- Use durable luggage labels showing your name, flight number, destination address and telephone number. The main cause of lost luggage is the loss of the airline’s barcode label.
- Mark the inside of your bag with your name and mobile-phone number: if your labels are torn off, handlers will open the bag to find identifiers.
- Luggage checked in late may not even make it onto the flight and will follow on later, increasing the chances of it going astray. Customise your bag using ribbons or a coloured luggage strap to prevent anyone else from accidentally taking it from the carousel.
- Maybe buy a GPS tracker for your bag.
- If your bag goes missing, fill in the forms before leaving the airport and do not leave without the telephone number of the handling desk, a claim number and the name of a supervisor.
- List the items packed before leaving home and take a copy with you (but not in your checked luggage). It makes the compensation process much easier.
