As with all else in life there are 'rules' governing the checking of your luggage when you travel. They aren't real complicated. Rather, they are more like base sense things to do. Paying attentiveness to these tips could make your checking in an easier process.
Do check airlines and other transportation modes to see what their policies are concerning checked luggage and carry on luggage. Most have a weight limit or a quantity limit. You should also check to see if the company has a luggage tracking assistance and how to make a claim in the event of damage or loss.

Do label your bags clearly with your name, address, and phone number. It sometimes recommended that you list your destination as well. This facts should be placed inside your luggage as well along with your itinerary. You must without fail remove any old luggage tags that might cause your luggage to be misrouted. You might want to put colorful straps on the covering of your luggage to prevent it from popping open and possibly theft.
Do go directly to the luggage claims area to retrieve your luggage. This will help prevent loss and theft and get you out of the airport or depot that much faster. If you delay in retrieving your luggage it could be lost, damaged or stolen.
Do carry on such things as keys, medicine, computers and computer equipment, leading documents along with tour documents, and jewelry. Cash, cameras, and other personal and highly valuable.
Don't check bags that don't close properly-they could pop open. Don't check any bag with missing or broken parts, this will prevent added damage. Don't over pack as this can strain the frames, seams, and/or zippers. Don't check bags that are meant to be carry on bags. These contain briefcases, tote bags, or garment covers. Don't forget to have fun!
