If you’re a frequent flyer, either as crew or a passenger, you already know that luggage, and packing in a certain way, can be a game changer. Packing smart can help you fit all your essentials neatly into one cabin appropriate bag, and practically breeze through security. If you’re checking luggage in, packing smart can also help you find your bags more easily upon landing, or even find them when they’re lost. So, how can you pack smart for hassle-free travel?

1) Always have your travel documents prepped and ready to go

The best way to get your travel documents sorted and in an easy-to-fine place is to get a travel document holder. A good travel document holder will have separate pouches or inserts for your passport and other documents, and will preferably be waterproof.

It’s also important that the travel document holder be relatively sleek, and have a zipper for closing, because you’ll need it to be portable and safe for all your documents.

2) Tag, tag, tag to spot your checked baggage a mile away

Having customized luggage tags that are easy to see and durable can significantly improve your experience at the luggage carousel. No more fumbling with the paper tags to see if this is really your bag, no more accidentally having your bag taken by someone else, and no more having to check every black bag that comes down the carousel to see if it’s yours. Hardy travel tags last a long time and mark your possessions quite effectively—always a good investment to make.

In addition to being distinctive, travel tags can also come with electronic luggage finders. No more lost luggage, ever, when you use these. Amazing prospect, isn’t it?

3) Adapters rock!

When traveling through different countries, the most important thing you can carry, apart from your travel documents, is a Multi Universal Travel adapter. Without one, you’ll have access to power, but no way to tap it. Always make sure that you have one in your bag so that you’re never caught unawares without the ability to charge essential electronic items.

4) A security appropriate toiletries bag

Breezing through security is a dream achieved only by the few— the few who have managed to pack their toiletries effectively. Getting a toiletries bag can cut down your time at security by minutes, making the process that much easier on you and your fellow passengers or crew members.

5) Lock things away

Getting a multi combination lock for your belongings can be extremely beneficial—not only does it keep your luggage secure, it also makes you feel confident that your belongings are safe, leaving you to enjoy the rest of your flight.

Follow these packing smart tips to have no luggage-related woes the next time you travel. Traveling should be fun, and exciting, not filled with anxiety about your belongings.
