Carry on. It sounds like something you have to endure.

Getting your baggage on board doesn’t have to be a hassle. Here are a few tips for following security procedures and making sure your luggage is ready to go.

1. Know what you can carry. According to the Transportation Security Administration, all liquids, aerosols and gels must be in three-ounce or smaller containers; they must be placed in a single, quart-sized, zip-top, clear plastic bag; and this bag must be placed on the conveyor for x-ray. Scissors, razors, knives and other sharp objects must be transported in checked luggage. For more information, visit www.tsa.gov.
2. Try traveling with carry on luggage only. By traveling this way, you don’t risk having your checked luggage lost or stolen.
3. Don’t put heavy items overhead. The weight limit for carry on luggage is generally 40lbs, but even this can be heavy (and dangerous) in the overhead bin.
4. Make contact. By including your name and address on the inside and outside of every bag, your luggage will always find you.
5. Customize the look of your bag. This makes it easier to identify.
6. Keep valuable items with you. It’s that easy. Really.
7. Check the tag. Make sure the airline tag on your luggage is headed to the correct destination.
8. Keep the stub. The stub from your checked luggage is your proof of ownership.
9. Report lost luggage. If your checked bag doesn’t make it to your destination, immediately report the loss to the baggage agent on duty.
10. Pack accordingly. Don’t put all your underwear in one basket, in other words. Distribute key items across a couple bags so you can continue your trip if one bag is lost.
