 Britons travelling on Spanish holidays should seek advice from the local authority of the region they are travelling to before placing a lock on their luggage, it has been reported.
According to Travelfinders, it is important to bear in mind advice for the individual location holidaymakers are travelling to when choosing whether or not to place a lock on their checked-in baggage or not.
For example, a spokesperson for the company noted, those travelling to places in South Africa would be advised to keep locks on their cases.
However, in the United States "it's best not to lock your bags" as the authorities have the right to check them thoroughly and can even break locks in order to remove them.
