| Packing Preparation |
Unless you are traveling extremely light, plan to check-in more of your baggage and to carry-on less. In any case, check with the airline before packing to determine its carry-on guidelines regarding the number of items you may carryon and the maximum size of those items. Also, be aware that, in certain situations, the airline may require most or all of your bags to be checked-in.
When purchasing luggage, select pieces that are lightweight, roomy, and durable. Material and design should be able to keep contents dry in adverse weather. Be sure that each piece has a secure lock.
As you pack, make a list of everything you want to take and check off each item as it is packed. This will help make sure you don't forget anything. It will also serve as a handy inventory list should your luggage become lost and you need to file a claim. And, should your bag be lost or not arrive, pull your inventory list and fill in the details on the items, such as the date of purchase and the depreciated cost.
