How to Prevent Lost Luggage and Pack Wisely

PREVENTING LOST LUGGAGE

Put your name both outside and inside your bag in case your luggage tags fall off in transit; also, a copy of your itinerary inside will make it easier for an airline employee to find you if it becomes lost.

Take a picture of your bags before you travel.  You'll find having a photo of your lost luggage will be much easier than describing what your bag looks like at the claims desk.

Pack a day's worth of clothes in your carry on--especially undergarments--so if your bags ever become lost you're not running around an unknown city looking for the essentials.

Avoid short layovers: If you must connect through a second airport, be sure to leave enough time for you and  your bags to make the next flight.
