What to Do Before Closing Your Suitcase for Holiday

A travel expert reminds people to do something before closing suitcases.

People should add one thing to their holiday prep checklist. This task should be done while packing.

Travel expert Kate says people should do one thing before closing suitcases. This step could save hundreds of pounds.

Taking a photo of luggage contents is a step many holidaymakers forget. It could be your best defence if something goes wrong.

Having this documented helps if property is damaged or suitcases go missing. It helps with future insurance claims.

If luggage does not travel with you and is not returned after 21 days, it's officially lost.

The 21-day rule comes from the Montreal Convention. It states airlines have a period to locate missing baggage.

Kate says airlines might ask for proof of contents and value. If you've taken photos, it's easier to show proof.

Keep a record of what's inside your suitcase for insurance claims.

Taking photos means no delays with claims, and you get the money you're entitled to. Keep receipts of high-value items.

Following the right steps strengthens your case for reimbursement if a suitcase is lost.

Airline caps rarely cover the full value of a new suitcase. Keep evidence like the Property Irregularity Report and receipts to ensure your claim isn't rejected.
