Learn how and what to pack for efficient airline travel

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • small duffel bag
  • small toiletry case
  1. Step 1

    Airline travel these days can be a huge pain. In order to save yourself the grief of heightened security we must start with the basics.

  2. Step 2

    PACK LIGHT!!!!! If possible pack everything you need in a carry on bag. Of course this is all dependant on the length of your stay but all in all it will save you about a half an hour to forty five minutes of time. By packing only the essentials you would be very surprised on how much will fit in a small carry on bag. Pack all toiletries in a sealed clear zip lock bag and remember to only bring the travel size bottles.

  3. Step 3

    If you need to check many large items it may be useful to ship them to your destination prior to your flight. This method may be cheaper too as many of the airline carriers are now charging high fee's for extra luggage.

  4. Step 4

    Remember to neatly fold all clothes. The better folded the more room there will be to fit in other items.

  5. Step 5

    Don't bring any items that may look suspicious through the x-ray machine. These include; colored markers, cigars, bottled water (no liquids are allowed through security) lighters and matches. Most importantly just use common sense.

  6. Step 6

    Following these steps will save you a ton of time and make your air travels as painless as possible.
