Before travelling: prepare your baggage
-
Label your baggage with your personal details (name, destination address, email and mobile telephone number) and put some personal identification inside it as well.
-
Remove all labels from previous flights before you check in.
-
Always lock your baggage. If you are travelling to the United States, use a TSA lock to avoid possible damage to your suitcases if they are inspected by security staff. These locks are approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the United States and allow the airport authorities to open your baggage without breaking the lock.
-
Put medication, cash, valuables and important travel documents in your hand baggage.
-
Check the articles that are not permitted on board the aircraft.
-
Never put fragile, perishable or valuable items like jewellery or cash in your baggage. In keeping with international regulations, airlines do not cover any incidents that may result in the loss or damage of these items.
-
Make sure that your baggage closes properly and that there is nothing protruding to prevent snagging.
-
If you want to wrap your baggage in plastic, most airports offer this service in the departures area, before you reach the check-in desks. For more information about wrapping your baggage at Spanish airports, please check the AENA website.
