Susan Foster wrote a book called Smart Packing for Today's travelers (Packing
wisely for today's travelers). Here the author gives us 10 tips to avoid or
survive the loss of luggage, something as common as current.

out in the rush by passing our suitcases. It is also ideal cover for our data

lost our luggage ends.
2. We must also put our information inside the suitcase. It never hurts to use
these external pockets to put our suitcases information provided will help track
and find our luggage quickly.
3. Our bags Make distinctive marks, colors
4. Remove the old identifiers can cause confusion. 5. I check in as soon as possible. It is generally recommended to do 90 minutes before the flight, or 2 hours for international flights. But in high season flights to the movement of people can be very confusing if we check in at the last minute.
6. Ensure that our luggage tags come with the correct destination and number of trip.
If we find that our luggage was lost, we must care for some time to pass it back is more relaxed.
7. Always carry-on luggage in the medicines we take and valuables and things that are not easily replaceable (glasses, keys).
8. Traveling with clothing that is comfortable to use a couple of days. Especially important is to have comfortable shoes. Also a good idea a change of underwear in our carry-on luggage. It is also an interesting idea, if you travel together, crossing a few items between the two bags: and if one is lost at least count on some clothes in the luggage of our companion.
9. If you missed our luggage to complete the appropriate forms for the airline always leaving contact details and keeping the claim number to be followed up.
10. Always make a list of what we carry in our luggage. You can leave a copy of
this list at home, just in case. Many people are not sure what he had in his bag
and underestimates the value of what was lost.
