  • Flight/Train Tickets or reservation numbers.

  • Private healthcare details and cover.
  • Sheet of paper containing hotel address and duration of stay plus home address and placed in each piece of luggage.
  • Mark each piece of luggage that it can be clearly identified as yours. Personally I put medium sized coloured cord on the handle as it cannot be mistaken as can a side sticker for example.
