Air travel usually causes enough headaches and stress without worrying what to pack and ensuring you meet all TSA regulations. Now there are a lots of handy travel accessories and gadgets that will help make your journey easy breezy. Here are a few packing and travel tips to ensure a smooth experience.
- Pack bags within bags. Use the protective bags that come with shoes and purses to protect small items like jewelry and hair accessories so they don’t get lost or damaged in your suitcase.
- Download travel apps. Have maps, directories and guides at your fingertips with travel apps and digital city guides. You can even download currency converters and language translators to converse with the locals. The TSA even has a mobile travel app at http://contact.tsa.dhs.gov/mytsa/.
- Use refillable bottles. Don’t cram all of your coveted beauty items in an unreliable (and unattractive) plastic bag that’s really designed for sandwiches. Pack your goods in a TSA compliant travel toiletry bag, like the one from Clear Bag System with refillable airless pumps.
- Keep meds organized. Grandma had the right idea. A little pill box will keep your meds and vitamins neatly in place. Put it in your travel toiletry bag for easy access on board.
- Tag your bag. This might sound obvious, but a bright, stylish luggage tag will help you ID your bag instantly and help prevent lost luggage in a sea of black rollers.
- Buy a cardholder. Don’t lug your full-size wallet. Keep cash and cards neatly and safely tucked away in one convenient place. Check out the cool ones at http://shop.eleveneleven.net/category/46081133981/1/Cardholder-Wallets.htm.
- Pack a laundry bag. Don’t air your dirty laundry all over your hotel room. Keep dingy duds away from clean clothes with a compact, foldable laundry bag.
