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.
  • I too never had any problem carrying coffee. Thank you for the tips
  • @nvan78
    Never had an issue packing coffee, and this includes bringing it back from Laos. Never stopped.
  • @sja6178
    I’m a world traveler, never had problems with my electric toothbrush and coffee that I packed in my checked luggage.
  • @pixie3760
    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.

    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 .
  • Honestly I love watching all these videos it makes me feel a little smarter after watching them .
  • Excellent video and I don’t say this very often! Good information clearly presented with video and an excellent narrator!
  • @lisaspikes4291
    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.

  • 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.

    NO LITHIUM NO! We are not allowed to pack lithium ion batteries into our checked luggage. We are only allowed to take in our carry on. The reason being that checked baggage in the hold could have the lithium batteries start a fire and no one would be the wiser until it is far too late. It may not be ideal to have that lithium ion battery fire take place in the cabin instead, where there are special bags for containing such an event. If you follow this particular advice of the video, you will be putting yourself and all of the other passengers at risk.
