Don't Put Coffee In Your Luggage and 23 Other Tips

When you're getting ready for a flight, two main things you might be worried about is how to stuff all your travel essentials into your modest-sized suitcase and how to get through the security screening as fast as possible. Interestingly, both of these things depend on how carefully and thoughtfully you pack your carry-on and checked luggage.

Do you know, for example, that if you don't charge your laptop before the flight, it may be confiscated? Packing an electric brush in your carry-on may land you in trouble at the security check.

SUMMARY:
- Leaving your electric brush in your checked suitcase will make passing the security scanning easier for you.
- If you have a lot of clothes, it's better to use special compression storage bags.
- If you want to take a clutch or some other kind of a mini-bag, you may be asked to pack it inside your carry-on.
- Both your carry-on and checked luggage pass through an X-ray scanner. It can't see through the aluminum foil because this material effectively blocks X-rays.
- When you're traveling with a single carry-on bag, take advantage of sample-sizes! The most experienced travelers collect all the samples they get and take them on a trip.
- If you don't have special shoe bags for keeping your dirty footwear, pack your shoes in cheap plastic shower caps.
- Suitcases do tend to get lost from time to time. Imagine your chargers being gone along with your bag!
- Put some sheets of tissue paper between your folded clothes. Many travelers swear that by minimizing the pressure and friction, this simple action reduces wrinkles.
- While packing your bag, stuff your shoes with socks, ties, and other small objects.
- Compressing your bag by zipping it often helps to create more space inside.
- To prevent your chargers from getting tangled (ugh!), you can store them in sunglasses cases.
- If you're traveling with a backpack, make sure that its center of gravity is as stable as possible. Pack the heavy gear so that it's closer to your back and somewhere in the middle of the bag.
- Experts recommend to roll your clothes when you're traveling with a backpack and fold them if you bring along a suitcase.

Hey guys! What's your favorite type of coffee? (I love cappuccino! ☕)

[JarlGrimmToys]

The trouble with vacuum packing clothes. Is that it’s likely you won’t have a vacuum to repack your worn clothes to come home. Meaning if you used it to fit more things into your bag, you’ll have less room returning.

[firozahossen]

I too never had any problem carrying coffee. Thank you for the tips

[lisaspikes]

Please don’t forget to pack necessities in your carryon/personal bag! Medication, glasses, toiletries, chargers, a change of underwear and something to sleep in if you get stranded. I usually take a large sleep shirt. They don’t take up much room. I’ve been stuck overnight many times, and doing this makes everything so much easier.

I’m a world traveler, never had problems with my electric toothbrush and coffee that I packed in my checked luggage.

Never had an issue packing coffee, and this includes bringing it back from Laos. Never stopped.

Put all liquids 3 ounces or less in a ziplock bag . Also put passports, tickets, and other important papers in a seperate ziplock bag in case liquids leak or in case of rain .

2. several airlines explicitly forbid putting lithium batteries into checked baggage, it is only allowed in carry on despite what is described here. It is easier to detect faulty batteries in the cabin and deal with them.

Yes this will be very useful for my flight to the kitchen.

[helencampassi]

Thanks for the “bundle wrapping “ idea!

[pixie]

I've always wrapped all my clothing in tissue paper. It really does work for keeping everything fresh and the clothes dryer sheets I pack. But i use them at home too in all my drawers theyre fabulous for keeping things fresh.

[AlejandraRodriguez-nvkw]

Honestly I love watching all these videos it makes me feel a little smarter after watching them .

I once got stopped at the airport security check because I had one of those bluetooth trackers inside my carry-on, that apparently are not TSA compliant. Had no clue about it! I now bought a TSA compliant tracker, GEGO, works pretty well.

[RavikrishnaPothannagaari]

What really helped me the most is tip 21 Dryer sheets work so well i have never thought of this before but now bright side told me Thanks bright side

Once when I arrived at the Amsterdam airport from South America, a sniffer dog started checking us ( may be for narcotics). When the German Shepherd came to me he 'sniffed' that I was an environmentalist and an ardent dog-lover. He started rolling over as if he had met a long lost friend. Finally, I had to pet and caress him, to the embarrassment of the Dutch security staff.

I am a life traveler but there were still a few points that I could learn here good info.
