Take a photo of the item to be consigned.

If your luggage is lost, the first thing you should do is describe it as accurately as possible. Nothing is more helpful than providing the airline with a photo of your suitcase. Take a photo of your suitcase on the conveyor belt while you are checking it in at the counter. This will also help prove that you are providing the airline with exactly what you checked in and lost.

Track your luggage

Many people have used AirTags to attach to checked luggage to conveniently track the journey of the suitcase. Airtag is a tiny positioning device, used to attach to important objects such as car keys, wallets... This helps the owner easily find the item.

By using this tracking device, passengers can pinpoint the exact location of their suitcase and provide information to airline staff to speed up the search process.

Keep the baggage check

It is a small piece of paper that is stuck directly to the boarding pass when passengers check in their luggage. This small piece of paper will have a barcode, from which the airline can compare it with the barcode stuck on the passenger's luggage and make searching easier.

Many airlines around the world no longer check bags at the exit to make sure passengers have the right luggage. So many people may not pay attention to keeping this piece of paper. But Christopher says you should keep it until you get your suitcase in the car to leave the airport.
