Precautions to take with your luggage

Never leave your luggage unattended even for a few moments, or it might be destroyed.
Inform airport staff if you find any unattended luggage or packages.
Do not agree to look after anyone else’s luggage or package for any reason.
Label each item of your luggage with your name, address and telephone number.
Only put absolutely essential items in your cabin bag – the rest should go in your hold luggage.
Do not put any valuable items in your hold luggage.
Carefully wrap any fragile items.
