5 Ways to Make Your Luggage Safe While Travelling<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s nothing worse than losing something that is of great value to you.<\/b> 23.1 million bags had been lost<\/b><\/a> and mishandled in 2015.<\/b> That’s 6.5 bags per 1,000 passengers. Boeing 787 carries 290 people. <\/span>That’s about two bags per flight. And that’s just bags that were lost, stolen, or mishandled at airports. That doesn’t include bags that were lost or stolen while on foot.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We can afford more than ever now. That also means that we can lose more than ever.<\/b> Safety is a big concern. This post will help you keep your luggage safe while at the airport and on foot.<\/p>\n

Make Your Luggage Look Unique<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you want to keep your luggage safe while\u00a0travelling, make sure it looks unique,\u00a0and if you don\u2019t have a tag with your information on it, then it could be lost forever.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s a lot cheaper to produce items in bulk than in low quantities. That makes luggage more affordable, but it also means that a lot of people are going to have the same luggage.<\/p>\n

Perhaps simply paint your luggage in several different colours. Perhaps put a cover on it. There are many ways to make your luggage unique. If you make it look different, then it will be a lot easier for somebody to notice that your luggage doesn’t belong to them.<\/p>\n

Store Your Luggage Somewhere<\/b><\/h2>\n

Fly via multiple stops. Have 8 hours until your next flight. Decide that you want to explore the city.\u00a0Constant noise from wheels. One of your hands constantly occupied. <\/b>That’s just some of the problems that come with carrying your luggage.\u00a0Does that mean that you can\u2019t go anywhere without your luggage?<\/p>\n

How will you go to the bathroom? <\/b><\/p>\n

If you want to enjoy yourself while keeping your luggage safe, you will need to store it in a safe location.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

But facilities aren’t located in great places. Why should you have to pay for transport just to get to a facility? Luckily most stations and hotels can store your luggage. The problem with that is that you never know if there will be space for your luggage as you can’t book in advance and if your luggage gets lost, you don’t have any insurance which is why you might find\u00a0LuggageHero<\/a>\u00a0convenient if you are in London<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Copenhagen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You are more than likely going to be in a shop than anywhere else while travelling which makes LuggageHero<\/a> super convenient as you can simply put your luggage into one of the over 120 shops that support this scheme. It’s all done through an app which means that you won’t have to call anybody and you will instantly know that you have a place to leave your luggage in.<\/p>\n

Have a Lock<\/b><\/h2>\n

It’s as easy for a thief to open your luggage as it is for you without a lock.<\/strong> A lock will make sure that you individual items cannot be easily taken from your luggage.<\/p>\n

The statistic at the start of this post shows that your luggage isn’t as safe as you might think.<\/p>\n

If you are exploring on foot and don’t have a lock on your luggage, LuggageHero gives you a security seal which will show you if somebody has looked into your luggage.<\/p>\n

Track Your Luggage<\/b><\/h2>\n

Trackers have been getting more popular lately. A tracker is a small device that you place in your luggage. When needed, you open up an app on your phone, and it will provide you with the location of your luggage right away. Regardless of how far away it is.<\/p>\n

Locks are great when it comes to taking individual items, but somebody could always decide to take your entire luggage. And if you\u00a0have a lot of valuables with you, then a tracker is very\u00a0useful to have.<\/p>\n

Get Insurance for Your Luggage<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you followed all of these tips, then your luggage should be safe. But for maximum protection, you can always get insurance.<\/p>\n

An airline company won’t reimburse you if your luggage gets lost or stolen.<\/b> Your luggage is your responsibility unless a high value has been declared prior.<\/p>\n

Unless you pay for insurance or are on foot and using LuggageHero<\/a>,\u00a0you won’t get any money back.<\/p>\n
