As with all else in life there are 'rules' governing the checking of your luggage when you travel. They aren't real complicated. Rather, they are more like coarse sense things to do. Paying attention to these tips could make your checking in an easier process.
Do check airlines and other communication modes to see what their policies are regarding checked luggage and carry on luggage. Most have a weight limit or a quantity limit. You should also check to see if the company has a luggage tracking aid and how to make a claim in the event of damage or loss.
Luggage
Do label your bags clearly with your name, address, and phone number. It sometimes recommended that you list your destination as well. This data should be settled inside your luggage as well along with your itinerary. You must certainly take off any old luggage tags that might cause your luggage to be misrouted. You might want to put colorful straps on the exterior of your luggage to preclude it from popping open and perhaps theft.
Do go directly to the luggage claims area to retrieve your luggage. This will help preclude loss and theft and get you out of the airport or depot that much faster. If you delay in retrieving your luggage it could be lost, damaged or stolen.
Do carry on such things as keys, medicine, computers and computer equipment, important documents including travel documents, and jewelry. Cash, cameras, and other personal and highly valuable.
Don't check bags that don't close properly-they could pop open. Don't check any bag with missing or broken parts, this will preclude additional damage. Don't over pack as this can strain the frames, seams, and/or zippers. Don't check bags that are meant to be carry on bags. These comprise briefcases, tote bags, or garment covers. Don't forget to have fun!
