While in-flight thefts are less common than incidents with checked luggage, they still happen—and the frequency is increasing. Keep your carry-on safe, stay prepared and belongings secure with these tips:

• Choose a sturdy bag: Opt for a bag with durable materials and minimal exterior openings to deter theft.

• Sit smart: A bag with a built-in cushion, like the ULTI, can be safely placed behind your legs while seated. This makes sleeping safer and keeps your bag out of reach of potential thieves.

• Utilize the under-seat space: A compact, well-designed bag fits easily under the seat in front of you, keeping it within sight and reach.

• Double up on ID: Place identification both inside and outside your bag to avoid mix-ups or lost items.

• Be mindful during layovers: Never hang your bag on the back of a chair or leave it on the ground unattended. Sitting on the bag’s attached cushion protects not only your back, bum, and legs but also the bag’s contents.

• Stow wisely: If you must use the overhead bin, place your bag in the compartment across from your seat to keep an eye on it.

A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring your travel essentials stay safe and secure.
