Another tip for necessary liquid bottles is to hold upright, and squeeze them in a little to remove some of the air inside. While still squeezing, reseal the lid. - Most liquid leaks occur due to reduced cabin pressure at altitude. The air inside the plastic bottle or tube expands, the lid pops open, and the liquid leaks out. - If some of the air is removed pre-flight, the container will simply expand to it's normal size. - If in doubt, use a little cellotape as an extra precaution.

I cut the non moistened face wipes into quarters . I find they are the perfect size.

I also pack True earth laundry soap sheets if we will be there longer. Not a liquid, easy to use

If your makeup wipes dry out, all you have to do is wet them and they'll work fine. The same as the ones that start out dry.

I learned that if you pack your bottles horizontally and not vertically in your liquid bag, they fit more🤔

I learned from this video.I fly ungodly amount for work. Probably hit 2 million miles on one airline alone. Those refill bags alone will change my life.

I always put cling film over the bottle and then screw the lid back on.

Tip for makeup remover: use a ziplock with cotton rounds, soak w/remover. Doesn't count as liquid. (Just don't use to much).
I also freeze a water bottle (half full). It will pass through TSA if it's solid. Then top off afterwards. Cold water !

Great tips! Love those pouches and the skins. I also use saran wrap in between the cap and tube/bottle to reduce leaks and use contact cases if you only need a little bit of an item.

Great tips as always! I have the same cosmetic bag, it works great.

Hanging toiletry bag -- they're great but -- BE CAREFUL! I've left them in closets twice (once in a sleeper train). Don't forget them when you leave!
