On a recent school trip, a guy from my grade had a little travel drama—his suitcase didn’t show up at baggage claim. For several minutes, he just stood there while the rest of us collected our bags. Thankfully, his suitcase finally appeared, but it got all of us thinking: what if it hadn’t?Since then, I’ve learned a few simple tips. Always pack some basics in your carry-on: underwear, a clean T-shirt, travel-size toiletries, and your charger. That way, even if your suitcase is delayed or lost, you won’t be totally stuck.Also, make sure your suitcase has a label with your name, phone number, and email. Put a copy of your travel plans inside too—it helps the airline return your bag more quickly. One more tip: take a photo of your suitcase before the flight. If you need to describe it, that picture will help a lot more than saying, “It’s black.”It only took a few minutes of panic to remind us how easily things can go wrong when you travel. But a little preparation goes a long way! What would you do if your luggage wouldn’t arrive at the destination?
