INSIDE INFORMATION ~ I work for a major airline and can attest to this tip for redirecting lost luggage. Place a copy of your itinerary-including contact info for where you're staying-inside your checked suitcase. If name and flight tags are missing, we'll still know where your bag needs to go. ~ Michelle Koenig, Springfield, Mo.
