Experts name a dangerous mistake many tourists make during luggage check-in

When checking in your luggage at the airport, you should never write your home address on the tag. Criminals may use it to rob your house.

The British newspaper The Sun wrote about this dangerous mistake many travelers make. You should not write addresses of relatives or friends on such tags either, as this will cause problems for them as well.

In case of a lost suitcase, it will be enough to have the owner's phone number and e-mail address on it. It is also a good idea to take a photo of your luggage before the trip and add the necessary information to it using Photoshop - then the luggage search service, even if the employees do not know your language, will have all the necessary information to find lost items.

In addition, experts recommend leaving at least one business card with information about its owner in the suitcase pocket.

In addition to problems with suitcases, tourists often face other difficulties when traveling. We have collected the most common mistakes how to avoid them.

• Early arrival at the airport. You should not arrive at the airport earlier than 2-3 hours before your flight. You will only waste time and spend it sitting around waiting for the flight.
• Phone, pennies and keys in your pockets. When passing through the metal detector, you will have to put out all metal objects. It is better to put everything in a separate bag at once to save time for yourself and other people in line. It is not necessary to remove jewelry, especially gold and silver.
• Eating at the airport. This advice is not for all travelers, but you should to eat somewhere else before departure, as prices in airport restaurants are very high due to increased control and high rents.

• Not being prepared for passport control. You should think in advance about how you will answer standard questions from border guards. What is the purpose of your visit? How long will you be in the country? Where will you be staying? What is your occupation? Do you have anything to declare?
• The passport is covered. Sometimes a tourist can even be detained for such a mistake because money can easily be hidden under it to bribe an officer. In addition, the chip cannot be read because of it.
• Valuables in the luggage. It is better to put items of particular value (gadgets, money, documents) in carry-on luggage, as they are more likely to be stolen or damaged.
• Electronics and liquids at the bottom of the suitcase. Before the flight, tourists' luggage is often checked, so it can take a lot of time to find these items in the bag. It is better to put clothes and shoes on the bottom, and only then put various equipment. All liquids in containers up to 100 ml should be placed in a transparent bag.
• Attempts to get on and off the plane before others. This behavior of some tourists is simply ridiculous because it will not affect the speed of their further movements, only provoke a lot of conflicts.
