Especially in the recent past, after a few incidents that came into limelight regarding mishandling of baggage and thefts during air travels, safety of baggage has been a rising cause of worry for passengers. Whether one checks – in the baggage or keeps it in the overhead cabin, there are certain safety measures that must be followed by passengers. Though this issue hasn’t reached a level where one worries about losing the entire baggage but yes, it does extend to losing personal and valuable things from coats or carry – in bags. There have been incidents that were reported where flight attendants were caught stealing.
To keep it safe, be a little aware and careful. For instance when you are handing in your coat, make sure you check its pockets and take all valuables, especially your wallet with you. Another thing that one doesn’t pay attention to regarding the luggage in airlines is marking the bags. Make sure that you put up a distinctive mark on your bags which can prevent intentional or unintentional mix – ups with other fellow passengers.
You can also take some preventive measures like carrying a bag inside a bag, which makes it very difficult for anyone to meddle with your carry in. Also, if you are using the overhead cabin for your bag, make sure that you keep it upside down because then it makes it extremely difficult for anyone to unzip the bag without having to take it out and turn it over.
Apart from all these things, make sure that you don’t keep your money and wallet somewhere, where anyone can get easy access, keep your bag close by, use locks on your check - in as well as hand carry bags and also if there is something that’s very valuable, try and keep it with you instead of keeping them in your bag. And above all, keep your common sense up, awake and alert at all times!
