5 Things NOT to Pack in Your Checked Baggage

These 5 items should NEVER be put in your checked baggage/hold baggage when traveling on an airplane. I'm telling you which things you should have in your carry on bag instead and why it's not a good idea to check them.

1. Electronics
2. Expensive jewellery (if you have to bring it)
3. Important travel documents
4. All of your clothing
5. Chargers

I'd also add :
6. Money
7. Credit cards and other valuables
8. Medicines (fluid and non-fluid) with a prescription

and leave the jewellery at home ;)

In my family we split all of our clothes between each others checked suitcases so we will all have some clothes if any of our 4 bags gets lost.

Took British airways a few years ago and my luggage was delayed however, they gave me “allowances” and some toiletries so I could get myself some necessities for a day. Luggage came the next day and they actually gave me 100 USD. Woot!

My husband and I took our 2 children on a trip to Italy. We spent 3 days in JFK Airport (another story). Finally got to Rome via Paris and not one of us had our luggage. We had already been in our clothes for 3 days and because we landed at midnight there was no opportunity to shop. I had not packed extra clothes in our carry-on - a mistake I never made again. But...it was the most fabulous trip ever!

Bravo, you are so right. Checked in luggage theft is on the increase in 2017:(

I’ve heard that people put a GPS tracking device into their bag so they can always know where the luggage is at all times

You forgot medical equipment and medicines
NEVER EVER PUT YOUR MEDS IN A CHECKED BAD.

[srsquony]

Thank you. You explain it better than anyone else I've watched

I would add medications, of course, but also someone visually challenged like me needs to have spare contacts, solution, contact cases and eyeglasses with them in their carry on.  I have had a bag lost one time on a domestic flight.  Luckily it was on my return trip home, and the bag was located a few days later and delivered directly to my front door intact.  Thank you Delta!

Every time I pack a carry on bag really well and prepare for just in case my checked bag could get lost, it's always good luck and my checked bags never get lost. :)

[coltonowens]

I'm trying to figure out slick ways to pack cause I have a flight tomorrow afternoon and it's my first flight alone 😁

[johnslyfield]

Oh, keep your keys and medications in your carry-ons, too!! I once volunteered to gate check my items and the gate attendant advised me to make sure of that!!

[rebeccachun]

I like that way you speak and the contents, so efficiency!

[amyleighrogers]

Your videos are so helpful- I am traveling to London for the first time next month and this has been helpful!

good tips...when we pack a checked luggage, we always pack a carry on with things as if it is only box we use for our travel -- a set of clothing, cardigan/sweater, inner wear, even liners and napkins( you never know)...along with that a copy of our travel plan print out goes inside of all our boxes with emergency contact info as well.. and a copy of our travel documents/ID copy, etc goes into the carry on..we do not put that in checked baggage...
also, have some cash on you to spend at your destination so you do not have to worry about credit card decline or ATM machines as soon as you reach...
little planning ahead goes a long way:) enjoy travel!
