Worst Case Scenario:
How to Deal With
Travel Disasters
Here's what to do if you lose
your passport, break a leg or
even get artested overseas

The Bucharest baggage carousel stopped. All of the
other passengers had plucked their luggage from it. Even my
suitcase, checked through three flights from Seattle, had
arrived. My wife's bag, however, was a no-show.
Now What?
We visited the British Airways luggage office, provided our
baggage claim tags and waited.
We were departing on a 12-day cruise the next day.
Fortunately, our tour guide received the bag the next
morning. Travel is fraught with these kinds of potential
disasters. Here are some practical steps you can take
to prevent trouble.


Passport lost in Latvia or stolen in somalia
Passports do get stolen or lost, and it can be quite a calamity.
What to do: Visit your hoe nation's nearest embassy or
consulate with whatever identification you still have,
and apply for emergency passport replacement. If
you're stranded far from major cities, go to local police.
Even if you had all your identification stolen or lost,
you can get temporary papers. How to prevent it: Always
keep your passport in your possession. Keep it in a
zipped pocket or a front pants pocket.
Before going overseas, make photocopies of the face
pages of your passport, and store the in your luggage.
Be sure to memorize your passport number.
