Keep Your Passport Safe While Traveling
Always Keep It on You
It's crucial to keep your passport on you at all times while traveling. Avoid putting it in your pocket, as it can be easily stolen by pickpockets.
Instead, consider using a hidden wallet around your neck to protect your passport from theft.
What About Checked Bags?
According to a viral TikTok video, a traveler named griptape_ experienced a "quasi-hostage" situation on a flight from Puerto Rico to Miami because his passport was gate-checked.
To avoid such incidents, always keep your passport in your personal item, which will never be gate-checked.
Benefits of Keeping Your Passport On You
- Prevents theft
- Ensures you always have it when needed
- Eliminates the risk of losing it in a checked bag
International Travel
When traveling internationally, there is no definitive answer as to whether you should keep your passport on you.
However, it's generally recommended to keep it secure in a hidden wallet or personal item, as pickpocketing and theft are more common in some countries.
