  • Lost Baggage Protection
    - Print a copy of your itinerary on the back of a business card (there is software to print on business card stock if you are so inclined) and put it in a luggage tag on your suitcase. Alternatively, put a copy of your itinerary in an outside pocket of your suitcase with the note 'itinerary in outside pocket' emblazoned near your name on your luggage tags (you should have at least 2-3 luggage tags on each piece). When I've been forced to check baggage, this technique resulted in my baggage being returned to me much sooner than it otherwise would have.

  • Luggage Size is Important
    - We just returned from a trip to Copenhagen. Some people had problems with their luggage being too large to fit into the taxi's trunk. We have 22-inch bags, which did fit into the trunks of the cars. Some people with large luggage actually had to wait for a larger cab or van to pick them up. Most cabs were small cars, not the larger cars we are used to here. Even cabs picking up at the airport were smaller sized cars. Something to think about when you are choosing which luggage pieces to take.

  • Mobile Luggage
    - If you are travelling with children or the elderly, I suggest you get a rolling carry-on. If you have rolling luggage, the carry-on can also strap on top of it.

  • Net Laundry Bags
    - Use net laundry bags to put undies in after wearing. Ready to wash - and then makes sorting easier, especially if traveling with others.

  • Never Underestimate String
    - Always travel with a long piece of string in your pocket. It can be used to hold together your suitcase if the zip bursts, to create an improvised washing line, or to keep the kids happy playing cats cradle when a flight is delayed.
