Put non essential belongings in the big bag and lock. This bag is called CHECK IN baggage. i.e. you will register the bag with the airlines on the day of travel. They take and give you a counter foil. Such checked-in baggage will be kept in cargo store compartments of the aircraft in which you are traveling. After reaching the destination you will take the checked in bag and return the counter foil.
Use your hand bag for important and essential items like valuables/medicines/documents and snacks.
