Protect yourself before you travel

According to MoneySupermarket, ensuring you have valid travel insurance that covers lost or damaged belongings (whether lost at the airport, at your destination or anywhere en route) is the easiest and most efficient way to ensure a lost bag doesn’t equal complete disaster.

Alongside insurance, gadgets like the Galaxy SmartTag+ and Apple’s AirTags can help bring extra peace of mind and simplify keeping track of multiple bags. The Bluetooth devices allow travellers to keep an eye on the location of their luggage and have even been used by passengers to help retrieve lost cases.
