For example, you have been to London in the middle of winter; it’s very cold without the suitcase because someone at the airport had forgotten to check your suitcase, of which it contained all winter outfits. To prevent such unfortunate circumstances, I would like to share you the following tips with you:

• Stick a tag on your luggage. On this tag, you write your name, address and phone number. Carefully, you can write some more detailed information.
