Document what your luggage looks like before you hand it over.<br/>• ⁠Take a photo or video of your bag being weighed. That can help confirm the original weight of your luggage in case anything is added after check-in.<br/>• ⁠Make sure your bag tag is securely attached. Before your bag disappears onto the conveyor belt, check that the tag is properly fastened and clearly visible.<br/>• ⁠Keep a record of your baggage receipt. Do not throw out the small sticker or baggage claim receipt until your trip is over and your luggage is safely back in your possession.<br/>• ⁠Use a luggage tracker. Several victims told W5 that tracking devices helped show where their real bags had gone.<br/>• ⁠Take a photo of the bag tag itself. Make sure the tag number, destination and passenger name are visible.<br/> <img src="https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/116/606/832/331/542/831/original/8f24a9103d97f38a.png"> <br/> 2026-05-20T12:11:01Z
