5 tips for keeping luggage safe while traveling in airports
(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, February 15, 2016 ) Florida, UK -- Travelers being inattentive to their luggage are easy victims of thieves. The following advice, from Ody Travel Gear may help when travelers take certain safety measures into account.
According to Ody Travel Gear, luggage insurance is a must. While insurance cannot bring lost items back, it covers the total cost or at least half of the expenses spent by the insured individual. Some insurance policies cover the amount of expensive items such as jewelry and gadgets, while others cover only the clothes.
Getting identification tags for the luggage is also a must. Tags made of leather, metal or plastic are good options. Paper tags might get damaged or wet during the trip. Travelers should avoid mentioning their personal address on the tag as it can attract thieves - simply add a contact number and name so that luggage owners can easily be located.
There are some rules related to the weight and contents of items and luggage being carried at the airport. Travelers are advised to go through these rules carefully before packing for their vacation. Packing items that are not permitted by the airport authorities is not only time-consuming, but also a waste of effort and money.
Ody Travel Gear recommends using a Travel Sentry Approved luggage lock. International and domestic airports scan every piece of luggage and there are times when officers have to manually inspect bags when the passenger is not there. Without a TSA approved luggage lock, Transport Security Officers cut off locks to gain access to the luggage, causing damage to the bag and distress upon the passenger's arrival.
Ody Travel Gear's Luggage Lock is TSA approved and manufactured with a molded zinc casing for guaranteed durability and maximum strength. The push button release at the top of the lock makes it secure , easy and faster to use than "U" clasp locks. The 3 dial combination also means that travelers don't need to get keys out of their pocket. The lock is compatible with all brands of luggage, backpacks and suitcases.
Joe A, a customer, gave the lock 5 stars and shared, "These locks are elegant. They are well made and easy to set up a new code. The no need for holding on to a key is a plus. Also, being a cable instead of a metal bar, gives you more flexibility in what you can attach it to. I really like the fact that the cable fits through the luggage zippers. These locks provide some peace of mind while traveling."
Finally, Ody Travel Gear strongly encourages travellers to avoid keeping cards, important documents, wallet and cash inside the luggage. Carry-on bags and money belts can be used to keep cash and cards. A secure briefcase with hidden pouches and interlocking zippers can be used to carry important documents.
Ody Travel Gear's Luggage Locks are backed by a No Questions Asked Money Back Lifetime Guarantee and come with 2 luggage tags.
