The following guidance should help you to avoid many of the common problems that passengers face with carry-on or checked luggage.nno Take a trip with Only Carry-on luggage: It reduces the risk of checked luggage lost or stolen.nno Do not place Heavy object in the Overhead Storage Bins: Although, the weight limit for carry-on items is generally about 40 pounds (18.2 kilos), even a much lighter bag may cause severe injury if it falls out of overhead storage bin.nno Place a Contact list inside and outside of Every Bag: Put your name and contact address & phone no. on the outside of every bag. Also, put the same information & a copy of your itinerary inside every bag. This will make it easier for the airline to recognize you, if you lose your luggage.nno Customize the Look of Your Luggage: Make it easy to recognize because there might be many bags with a similar design on a flight; customize the bag to make it simple to spot on a baggage carousel. This will also help you to prevent change of your baggage with your fellow passenger by mistake.nno Keep Important Documents with You: Do not pack valuable items in checked luggage. Money, laptop computers, electronic files, and other items of high importance should be place in a carry-on bag, preferably one that is small enough to be stowed under the seat. The airline might insist on checking larger carry-on bags if the storage bin gets filled.nno Make sure that the Airline label on Your Checked suitcases is for the right Destination: Each of your checked luggage must have a three-letter airport identifier that should match your destination airport. If you are unsure about three-letter code, ask the ticket representative or skycap.nno Be sure that a Stub placed on your Checked Luggage: This stub is a critical document that will be required if your things are lost by the airline or if you are trying to identify that, you own a piece of luggage.nno If your checked luggage does not reach your destination, immediately report to the concerned person on duty or to any other available agent.nno Get ready to Deal with lost bags: Pack according to usage so that you continue your trip even with the loss of one of your luggage. Distribute key objects like business suits or underwear so that you can carry on with your business until you either get the bag back or replace the lost object. If you are carrying essential items or information for a business meeting, either carry a backup set of information or have that backup information sent ahead of time.nno Don't Pack Hazardous Goods: There are quite a number of items or equipment, some of them are not so obvious, which may cause a risk if taken on an aircraft.nnIf you want to book your cheap airline ticket in last minute then I will suggest a few travel websites which can offer you Last Minute Cheap Airline Tickets and give some more tips to avoiding Loss of your Luggage.
