These basic steps and precautions should always
be taken while traveling, regardless of your
mode of travel:
-
Carry all reservation
and confirmation numbers.
-
Carry your airline or
cruise ship line’s customer service
numbers.
-
Make sure you have your
passport and other relevant identification
with you prior to leaving.
-
Your passport should be
valid for at least six months after your expected
return date.
Baggage and luggage – limitations,
liabilities, claims, and insurance
-
Be aware of size and weight
limits, and how many bags are permitted for
carry-on. Carry-on limits vary among airlines.
-
Find out limits on liability
for lost luggage, and purchase additional
insurance when necessary.
-
When filing claims for
lost luggage, be sure to fill out all the
necessary forms correctly, get names and identification
numbers of people you speak with, and determine
necessary follow up steps, who you need to
follow up with, and their contact information.
