Stay cool and carry a carry-on. As noted earlier, travelers have faced issues with lost luggage lately. While checking a bag can be convenient for hands-free travel or extended trips, now may be the perfect time to streamline your items into a carry-on. With that in mind, here are some packing tips for your upcoming journey:

• Avoid checking bags if possible. We can assist you in verifying that your carry-on meets size requirements—simply open the iOS app, scroll to the “Popular tools” section, and select the “Measure your bag” option.

• Monitor your luggage. Consider investing in smart tags for your bags to simplify tracking. Alternatively, use printed tags and inquire about tracking numbers—many airlines provide updates via text or their app.

• Tag your belongings. If you must check a bag, ensure your luggage is clearly labeled inside and out for easy identification in case it gets misplaced.

• Save your receipts. If your luggage ends up missing, inquire with your airline about compensation—many provide coverage for replacement expenses.
