Useful tips
We recommend attaching a label containing your home and holiday address on the case to prevent confusion. Distinctive stickers or luggage belts help with the correct identification. Please note that only approved items must be packed in your case, otherwise it will have to be opened by security control. You should always carry important items such as papers, valuables, keys and medication in your hand luggage.
