The 3 Most Important Things

It's Not Your Ticket! 
The most important thing is not your ticket for you cannot loose an 'e-ticket'. Nowadays, the most important thing is your ID. No License - no fly!

Not Your Credit Card!
The second most important thing is not your credit card for if you loose it, you are only liable for $50 (and apparently they rarely charge this if you call the loss in!!)

For the Frequent Flier, the second most important thing is your Luggage Sticker! If you loose that, you can't get you luggage out of some airports or claim it as a lost bag.

Nor is it Cash!
You can get cash out of that 'hole-in-the-wall', but your ticket receipt is a huge chunk of cash on your expense report! Therefore, before you leave the gate, you must remember to ask for two of them. Take them out of that ugly ticket envelope and hide it away in your bag with your luggage receipts.

Brilliant Tips From The Flying Scotsman

Tip #1 - Never hand over your ID at the ticket counter. Hold it up to show your picture, read off your FF numbers that you have written on the back! Same with your wallet - Make it a habit never to let it touch anything but your pocket lining!

Tip #2 - Keep an Emergency Wallet inside your luggage that contains the following:

• a duplicate drivers ID. You can buy one on the net for $15. Web search 'Department of Motor Vehicles' in your area.
• a second Credit Card (from a different credit company) so that you can cancel your lost one and still use the second! Ask them to put your picture on it.
• cash, a pre-paid phone card with emergency numbers taped to the back (but you have that anyway right?!)
