⦁ Before checking your luggage, remove all tags from previous trips;

⦁ Personalize your luggage with ribbons, stickers or any other accessories that can easily identify it on the baggage claim belt and avoid exchanges;

⦁ Adapt the size of your luggage to your needs and make sure it is closed properly. Excessively overloaded baggage is in danger of breaking;

⦁ Take your valuables, fragile or indispensable (keys, documents, jewelry, money, medication, prescriptions, etc.) in your carry-on;

⦁ Ensure your items can be transported in the cabin or hold;

⦁ Photograph your checked luggage before travel.
