Flying with only carry-on luggage is ideal if you want to avoid the long lines at check-in counters. Not to mention the fear of whether your suitcase won't get lost. Is it impossible for you to travel with only a small bag and do you have to check in your luggage? Then check out these smart tips that might help you if your suitcase doesn't show up on the baggage carousel upon arrival!
Take a Picture
Photograph your luggage before dropping it off at the check-in counter. Take as many photos as possible and from different angles. Don't forget to pay attention to details. For example, have you covered your suitcase with stickers or is there a luggage strap around it? Capture it! Also, take pictures of the contents of your suitcase at home.
These photos will come in handy when your luggage turns out to be missing. This way you can prove exactly what you have lost, or if you want to file a damage claim.
Keep the Proof
Keep the barcode that you receive after dropping off your baggage! This is because this label can help you find your luggage. After all, it contains valuable information such as the weight of the luggage, your name, and your intended flight itinerary. Often this label is put on your passport like a sticker on airline tickets, but it's worth double-checking that you have it. It is your proof that you have checked in your belongings.
Get a Tracker
Put an AirTag in your suitcase or bag. An AirTag emits a Bluetooth signal that allows you to see exactly where your suitcase or other luggage is. Clever!
