Theft is always a concern at airports, but also on flights. A few tips to make sure that your belongings aren't compromised:
- Constantly be aware of your surroundings. Theft is common at airports and even on board flights. I recently witnessed a scheme where a number of coins were dropped in front of a traveler in an effort to distract him. Luckily, the traveler was wise to the situation and held on to his luggage, yelling so loudly that the would-be-thieves fled.
- Be aware that unwanted and/or illegal items may be placed in unattended luggage.
The above tips are intended to aid in safer travel for you, and ensuring that you can be reached in case of emergencies or flight changes.
