Helpful suggestions:
Be sure to attach a baggage identification tag that clearly displays your name, address and contact information in case your bag is misplaced. In addition, we suggest you place this same information, or a copy of your itinerary, inside the bags. Unclaimed bags without tags will be opened and searched for any evidence of ownership, so be sure to include this information inside your bags as well and check it periodically to ensure accuracy.

Carry a list of the items you packed into each of your checked bags with you onboard the aircraft. In the unlikely event that your bags are misplaced, a detailed list will help you complete the claim form, as well as help us locate and identify your bag(s) more quickly.
