Last Updated on March 30, 2021

People may tend to forget to check their luggage weight, but you totally should before checking in with the risk of it being denied, and you can’t bring all of your stuff. It’s a very uncomfortable situation to be in, and definitely, you don’t want to experience that, do you? The weight limit for checked bags may differ from an airline company to another, but you must research what that limit is in your case before traveling.
 

4. Booking Cheaper Flights

It’s normal to try to find cheap flight tickets, we all want to save as much we can and find the best deals in those cheap flight websites, but be aware that cheap flight booking normally means, yes, connection flights! So it’s a lot of flight time to do but also a bigger risk of getting your luggage lost. It is very common for it to be misplaced and getting shuffled out to somewhere else in connection flights. Now, normally the airlines will recover your luggage but is it really worth it? Direct flights are way safer bets.
 

5. Traveling With Untagged Bags

Ever wondered why that friend’s bag is all tagged up? Well, one is that they are lucky to be traveling a lot, but most importantly, they are smart! Why? With a baggage tag, you can easily identify your bag and avoid any undesirable situations where your luggage is being misplaced or taken by mistake by someone else at the travel destination. You don’t want to open your bag in the hotel and find a bikini that is not yours, right? Buy yourself a nice colorful tag to be sure!
 

6. Don’t Overpack Clothes

You want to be sure you’re prepared for every situation, it’s smart thinking when you’re going to travel, but there are a few reasons not to overpack your luggage with clothes. One is that you may be contributing to the bag to overstep the weight limits. Still, it would be best if you also kept a few clothing options in your handbag, you never know when you’re going to need a change, you might get held up at an airport and weather can change, some accident can happen, and many reasons may lead to a change.
