Crime at airports is at an all time high. Some airports report that as many as one in five passengers experience theft or attempted theft of their belongings while using the airport. You can be super safe by taking just a few simple precautions.
It may seem obvious, but keep your bags with you at all times. Never leave your bags with a stranger and always keep an eye on them. Check in your bags as soon as you can so that you only have your hand luggage to worry about.
While you may be tempted to buy expensive designer luggage dont. Thieves will look out for expensive luggage which can attract their attention.
Always keep your valuables close to your body and not in your luggage. You could use a money belt for your cash and an under-clothes wallet for your passport.
Take extra care at the security check area. Avoid using the tray for metal items by putting your watch and jewelry into your bag before it is scanned. Its also worth waiting for the person in front of you to have completely cleared the security check as this will help you to go through at the same time as your hand baggage.
When you leave the aircraft head for the baggage reclaim area as quickly as possible. You should identify the right carousel for your flight and be waiting for your bag to appear. This will help you to get to your bags before any thief grabs them.
By taking just a few simple precautions you should be able to avoid becoming another airport crime statistic.
