How to Keep Your Passport Safe When Traveling
/Where to Keep Your passport When Traveling | Follow This Strategy to Keep Your Passport Safe
When you travel, this is the one single most important travel strategy you are not following – that’s what I will talk about today.
Your most important travel document is your passport, and you should be guarding this with the utmost security. However, most of us throw our passport in the carry-on luggage in the overhead bin and forget about it for the rest of the flight.
I have seen people lose their passports at airports and on planes. Imagine landing in a foreign country with no passport … you don’t want to be that person.
My recommendation is to use a sling bag or any small, similar bag and keep it attached to your body at all times, even when you go to the washroom or sleep on the plane. This type of bag is small and doesn’t count as a personal item in the airlines’ terms, so flight attendants will never ask you to remove it and put it in the overhead compartment during landing and takeoff.
When you are wandering around the airport, pay attention to your passport bag and keep it close to your body. I use anti-theft sling bags (I have 4 or 5 of those) which cannot be slashed or cut; they have steel netting and wiring. I am extremely cautious about my passport. You don’t have to have a superior anti-theft bag, any sling or shoulder bag will do the job.
To visualize this type of bag, watch my video below. I have shown a few of these and you can use anything similar, as long as it works for you.
