7. Pack the most important belongings in your carry on

Pros : You’ll have the most important things with you even if your luggage is lost.

What you need : Your carry-on bag

This hack has been around since airlines were invented and began losing peoples’ luggage almost immediately thereafter. When you’re travelling, make sure you pack your most important items in your carry-on. This includes daily medications, phone chargers, important documents, underwear, toothbrush and toothpaste, and any valuables.

Pack the most important belongings in your flight carry on

That way, even if the plane loses your luggage and you have to go through the tedious process of tracking it down and getting it back, you’ll have your essentials. This hack is extra important for people who rely on daily medication. You don’t want there to be any disruption to your medical routine.

8. Carry a power strip

Pros : You’ll have multiple power sources for all your devices.

What you need : Power Strip – LENCENT – 4-Port USB Universal Travel Adaptor Plug – £17.88

It can be hard to find an outlet at the airport and even when you do find one, you really only get one outlet. So bring a power strip with you to the airport; that way, you can charge your mobile phone, airpods, laptop, and tablet, all at the same time.

If you’re feeling generous, you can even share some of the outlets with the person next to you. The power strip shouldn’t give you too much hassle going through security, especially if it’s not battery-operated. Even if you’re stopped, there won’t be an issue, just a small delay while they take it out of your bag and check it over.
