Hi All,<BR> Just a quck question where do you store your tickets (airline, eurorail) while on trip. In particular while going from one destination to the next?

In my money belt, which is the safest place.<BR><BR>Rita

In a money belt, wrapped in a supermarket plastic to protect from the humidity. At last minutes in safe place, such as in the taxi, shuttle bus to the airport, or in the waiting line at airline counter protected by my friend or family, transfer them to a hidden zipped pocket in my shirt. Move them back to the money belt at next earliest safe opportunity. Eurorail pass is even better in that I can keep it in my money belt until I am safely seated in my seat. Almost no chance of being pickpocketed on route.

Just my purse, that's it. If I want a little more room in my purse, I have a heavy-duty envelope folder for important papers, copies of receipts or itinerary, etc., with a velcro closing (these are nothing special, just expanding wallets from a stationery store) that I put into a zippered section on my small carryon tote.<BR><BR>I'm just careful with things and don't ever put that down and leave it or have it easily accessible to others (just as when waiting in an airport or train station). I don't use money belts myself, but I'm careful with my things and am not a pickpocket-easy target or magnet (no one has ever pickpocketed me or tried). Most of the time I have passport, money and tickets in my purse, though.<BR><BR>I know some people need to take different precautions, I think you have to know yourself. Also, men may have different issues as they seem to frequently carry things in their pants pockets which are easily picked, and women don't do that.

Always in a money belt!

I certainly don’t treat my airplane ticket with such reverence. I toss it into my suitcase the first place I unpack and take it out of the suitcase when packing up to catch my flight home. I haven’t purchased a rail pass in a number of years, so have forgotten what one looks like. If it is like a credit card sized ticket, it would be in my wallet; if it’s the size of an airplane ticket, it would get the same suitcase treatment as the airline ticket. After carrying a money belt back and forth to Europe about dozen times without using it, I gave it away last February to someone who would.

The return plane ticket goes in the inside flap of my roller 22&quot; suitcase for the duration.<BR><BR>Train ticket, passport and things I'll need each day go in my normal pocketbook/purse.<BR>

I keep my tickets etc. in my money belt under my clothes, but I wear this money belt in the back so I won't have a big bulge around my mid section.

In my jacket pocket

In my wallet.

The plain ticket stays in luggage. My train pass stayed in a zippered compartment of my purse. Money belt? I have enough girth without that!!

We bought a bag from the Gap. It looks like a mailman's bag (but stylish, of course). The body and the flap have zip-up pockets; you can carry it mostly in front, over the shoulder so it's harder to grab. We usually walked with the bag between us, too. It also has zip-up internal pockets, so retreiving valuable items is not a trivial exercise.<BR>In this, you can put spare batteries and other camera accessories, passports and tickets if you don't trust hotels or are between hotels.<BR>We typically stayed at smaller hotels - family run, where the proprieter recognizes everyone and there are less likely to be a hundred strangers in and out of the lobby. We put things like tickets in the suitcases, and had a good lock. We even locked the laptop in one suitcase and put it in the train station left luggage in Naples while we visited Capri. Hey, if they don't know it's valuable, it's probably safe. If they're going to slice open everything, your holiday's probably ruined anyway! <BR> Also, make photocopies of tickets, passports, etc. have a list of Visa cards and cancellation phone no's. If necessary, leave a copy with friends back home too, who can fax these if necessary.<BR> The last vacation (London, NYC), we used Etickets. Just the passports to carry around.

Lots of different answers but I think what factors in is where you are staying and where you are traveling. We stay in nice inns or 4 stars and just put the tickets in our luggage and lock it up. Passports and such in my purse. In England, Scotland, Netherlands or Ireland I've never felt any more vulnerable than I do in Dallas or anywhere else in the states. I think Americans get a little paranoid when traveling overseas. Who wears a money belt at home? Be prudent and do what you're comfortable with.

Maxie, do you carry your pastport, plane tickets, and ALL your money (or ways to get money) at home? You may stay in &quot;4*&quot; places, but you walk the streets, etc. just like everyone else.<BR><BR>There are lots of stories on this board about the MAJOR inconvenience of losing these little pieces of paper and plastic. I'll continue to put things in my leg stash and go merrily on my way, knowing EXACTLY where they are.

<BR><BR>In my money belt always. Also keep my passport there as well.

In my wife's bra. No one in their right mind would look there.

Depends on where we're staying but with the passports. If the hotel we're staying at, has a hotel safe, then we keep the stuff there otherwise, it's in our backpack along with cameras etc..<BR><BR>Like one of the above posters ... we're tired of carrying money belts that we've never used.<BR><BR>-brownie.<BR>P/s: Even in Turkey, there's usually a safe in the hotel or once, we ended up leaving it with the owner who locked it up along with 10 other passports of other backpackers.

For those men concerned about pickpockets, may I suggest putting your cash, credit cards and passport in a trouser pocket and closing the pocket with one or two safety pins?<BR><BR>An inside pocket of a jacket is also a good place when secured with a safety pin.

My tickets are E-tickets on Northwest, all I need to do is know the confirmation # and bring my passport.

Even easier than a safety pin.sew some velcro into the pockets of pants ot jacket! You can hear that stuff rip open a block away!<BR><BR>I leave tickets and passports locked in my hardside luggage or in the hotel room safe.
