At the Airport

Stay especially alert and watch your bags and valuables at all time. Don’t let anyone but uniformed airport personnel handle or watch your bags. Don’t allow clearly unemployed persons to assist you with your luggage.

Watch our for clearly staged mishaps, for example, someone bumping into you or spilling a drink, as it is often a ploy to divert your attention and steal your bag or passport.

Carry your purse close to you body, or your wallet in an inside front pocket. Better yet wear a money pouch under your clothes. When paying a porter be aware of snatching thieves.

Keep a separate check of the contents of checked luggage. Keep anything of value in a bag that stays with you at all times.
Avoid displaying expensive camera, jewellery or luggage that will draw attention.

When seeking directions proceed to marked information centres only.
Don’t pack valuable items in your check-in luggage Thieves are quick to spot a person who appears to be lost and will approach such a person in order to steal from them.

Make sure you are not being followed when you leave the airport and be fully aware of your surroundings when you arrive at your destination, including your permanent residence.
