EVEN MORE TRAVEL SAFETY TIPS – PACKING

Look, we know you know how to pack things into a bag.  But there can be a lot more to packing than remembering your toothbrush and a clean pair of underwear.  Here are some ideas that may help.

PACKING TIPS

If you need any prescription medication, bring enough to last you the duration of your trip. Also, if you wear glasses, bring an extra pair.

Keep medicines in their original containers. You may also need a letter from your doctor explaining why you need certain medicines.

Don’t pack or bring any prohibited items, such as weapons, sharp objects, or dangerous substances. Visit the Transportation Security Administration web site to learn more about these rules.

Don’t bring a lot of cash or credit cards. Instead, bring travelers’ checks, one or two credit cards, and only a small amount of cash.

Don’t pack or bring valuables, such as a jot of jewelry.

Make sure your baggage is labeled with your name and phone number, but use a luggage tag. You may also consider using your work address and phone number on your luggage tags.
