Do passengers lock their luggage anymore? We have used zip ties for the past 15 years never had a problem. Just remember to pack a pair of nail clippers in your handbag or carryon.

For us the zip ties are to keep the zipper ends together to prevent accidental opening, not to lock the suitcase to prevent theft. We aren't under the delusion that a cheap padlock would deter thieves if they really wanted to look inside.

As you said if they want something bad enough a lock, zip tie or anything else is not going to stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
