Travel Tip #1
DON'T DISPLAY TOO MUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION ON LUGGAGE TAGS
Luggage tags with full names, addresses, and phone numbers exposed for anyone to read should be an absolute travel "no - no." Instead, use privacy luggage tags that conceal your personal information while still making it available to proper authorities if your bag is lost. One possible solution is "Untethered Privacy Luggage Tags" available on Amazon.
Travel Tip #2
AVOID EXPOSED PASSPORTS, BOARDING PASSES, AND OTHER TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Keep them out of sight while still being readily accessible. A great way to do this is with a neck wallet. It keeps your passport, debit and credit cards, cash, boarding passes, etc. securely in front of you and against your body for easy access. Better yet, make sure neck wallet is RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) protected preventing electronic access to data stored on credit and debit cards.
Travel Tip #3
KEEP THOSE PURSES AND TRAVEL BAGS CLOSED AND SECURED
Consider replacing purses and travel bags with an anti-theft crossbody bag. It includes locking zippers and slash-resistant features. There are other sources, however, once again check out Amazon. One such bag is their "Pacsafe.".
Travel Tip #4
DON'T LEAVE BAGS UNZIPPED OR UNATTENDED
Simple answer - TSA-approved luggage locks (don't ever use any other kinds of locks). TSA-approved locks keep unwanted persons out while still allowing TSA officials access when necessary. Such locks are great for all luggage: both checked and carry-on.
Travel Tip #5
MAKE SURE YOU CAN EASILY IDENTIFY YOUR LUGGAGE
Luggage, especially when it is on a fast-moving airport carousel, can look the same. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for the wrong bag to be grabbed only to find out later that you have the wrong one. It can - and does - happen. One "tip" is to use easily recognized colored luggage straps. Another - absolutely free - answer is our bright green Please Go Away™ travel stickers placed on luggage handles and travel bag straps. If you would like some stop by or let us know and we'll mail you a supply. The green stickers have saved many travel disasters - another story.
Travel Tip #6
KEEP TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, BILLFOLDS, AND OTHER TRAVEL ESSENTIALS ORGANIZED IN ONE PLACE
The answer can be a single travel wallet or pouch. Again, it is better if it is RFID protected. Such a wallet has compartments for cards, cash, and travel documents - even some with room for your phone. Everything in one place assures to a much greater extent nothing being left behind.
