    Packing for Success



    Whether you’re a frequent traveler or not, having a plan in place to ensure a worry-free journey is essential. Packing luggage doesn’t always need to be a cumbersome chore, so here are a few tips to help you streamline your packing process.



    Toiletries in a travel bag

    Packing reusable travel bottles for toiletries has many benefits!

    Avoid Excessive Travel-Size Necessities in Checked Luggage

    If you are taking a seven day or longer vacation, certain travel sized toiletries which are found at most drug stores are very costly in the long run and they’re not environmentally friendly. Purchase reusable travel bottles and jars (that are lightweight and durable) to contain the right amount of mouthwash, hair gels, liquid soaps, shampoos, conditioners, etc. that you will use for the duration of your trip. This way, you’ll have even greater control of the weight of your luggage and lessen waste.

        Status Delay update on a phone

        Be prepared for any unexpected delays by having some of the essentials packed in your carry on!

        Prepare For Potential Connecting Flight Delays

        If your flight reservation includes flight connections, you should keep at least two days’ worth of travel-sized necessities and clothing essentials in your carry-on luggage just in case you miss your flight connection, or if one of your flights is delayed due to weather or mechanical issues. Oftentimes, it’s near to impossible to retrieve your checked baggage in these situations, which is why some airlines provide complimentary toiletry kits upon request. However, you shouldn’t rely on any airline to always carry ample stock of these amenities.

          Redundancies Are Your Friend

          If you are a frequent traveler, the following applies to you: Instead of dealing with the hassle of packing day-to-day items that you use at home, make an investment to keep duplicates on-hand that you have designated specifically for travel, specifically: Combs, hair brushes, tooth brushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. Keep these items separate from the items that you use regularly at home by storing them in your luggage when not in use.

            Pack a Small Duffel Bag

            For vacations of seven days or more, pack a foldable, yet sturdy, duffel bag which you can use for souvenirs and such which you can check or carry-on for your flight home. If your checked luggage is already at weight capacity from your outbound flight, this extra duffel will help you avoid exorbitant fees that are typical for airlines to charge for overweight baggage (depending on your situation, it may be less expensive to check an additional piece of luggage).

              Flip Flops for the Shower

              Many hotels don’t include non-slip surfaces in their showers, so you’ll want to avoid slipping and injuring yourself. Be sure to err on the side of caution and pack a pair of quality water resistant flip-flops with non-slip soles (the ideal type of flip-flop are made of rubber and are very easy to dry off).

                Keep Up with Your Checked Luggage

                While many airlines offer checked baggage tracking that’s linked with your flight reservation and viewable via their apps, their tracking services will not give you any idea of your bags exact location if your baggage goes mistakenly unscanned or missing. How do you avoid this? Pack an Apple Air Tag in each piece of your checked luggage. These small tracking devices work by sending an encrypted signal through nearby iPhones. Should your luggage become misplaced, not only will you be able to find its exact location, but you can also set off its alarm.
