Jet-setters are sure heal on this hot point.
Losing a bag while flying a friendly airline is an annoyance many travelers go above and beyond to avoid.
While some tech globetrotters pack small space gadgets in suitcases, hoping to replace any lost luggage with gadgets, others still opt for the tried-and-true method of entering their information on bag tags.
But an aviation expert warns that posting a person’s name, number and address written on a laminate can be an invitation to unwitting danger.
“Always, always, turn your information on your wallet card backwards,” American Airlines flight attendant Ally Case asked her 850,000 TikTok followers in a viral tip.
He listed the marker as one of his “top travel safety tips.” It’s a tip he often shares with his nearly 160k followers online.
“I can’t tell you how many people I see every day, who have their information out there for anyone to see,” continued the flight crew member.
“I don’t even like strangers knowing my name,” he added in the caption of the post. “There’s no way I’d have my phone number and home address on display.”
And while his words of wisdom may seem extreme, frequent flyers may be wise to pay attention.
Recently, aviators have talked a lot about their encounters with “ships” while flying in the clouds.
The blonde bombshell reached out to X last month, saying her fellow passenger gave her an “amazing” message, where he complimented her long locks and gave her money of $100.
To make things even more hair-raising, on August 2nd, a pervert followed mother Lauren Benton and her young daughter into an airport bathroom in Washington, DC, then boarded a plane. Delta. The man boarded the plane without a valid boarding pass, but was later given the boot by security.
“I sympathize with the mental health crisis we have in the United States,” Benson said in a statement following the event. But I will not allow mental health to be used as an excuse for [compromising] for the safety of my family.”
And Case, along with her followers, seem to agree with that sentiment when it comes to protecting their identities from bag tags.
In fact, his security-conscious commentators explored the unique ways they learned to hide their IDs on wallet cards.
A careful visitor wrote: “I use my work address and not my home address.
“And I don’t put my home address on that belt. I created a dedicated email address instead,” said another, prompting praise from Case.
“My tablet has a flap that covers it [my personal information],” an equally cautious traveler observed.
“I put my business card in the drawer. It has enough light to give it back to me,” revealed one viewer – who Case said, “loved the idea.”
And when the skyway savant isn’t busy spreading the word about suitcase safety, he’s sharing tricks to reduce altitude anxiety.
