We recommend keeping them safe in a handy zipped pocket on your person or in your hand luggage. If your hand luggage gets gate-checked, you will need to ensure you take these important documents out so they are not left unattended where they are more at risk, and either keep them in a pocket on you, or transfer them to a smaller bag or personal item which you are able to take on the plane with you.
