Don't Put Coffee In Your Luggage and 23 Other Tips

Hey guys! What's your favorite type of coffee? (I love cappuccino! ☕)

The trouble with vacuum packing clothes. Is that it’s likely you won’t have a vacuum to repack your worn clothes to come home. Meaning if you used it to fit more things into your bag, you’ll have less room returning.

I’m a world traveler, never had problems with my electric toothbrush and coffee that I packed in my checked luggage.

Please don’t forget to pack necessities in your carryon/personal bag! Medication, glasses, toiletries, chargers, a change of underwear and something to sleep in if you get stranded. I usually take a large sleep shirt. They don’t take up much room. I’ve been stuck overnight many times, and doing this makes everything so much easier.

Put all liquids 3 ounces or less in a ziplock bag . Also put passports , tickets , and other important papers in a seperate ziplock bag in case liquids leak or in case of rain .

I too never had any problem carrying coffee. Thank you for the tips

Never had an issue packing coffee, and this includes bringing it back from Laos. Never stopped.

Once when I arrived at the Amsterdam airport from South America, a sniffer dog started checking us ( may be for narcotics). When the German Shepherd came to me he 'sniffed' that I was an environmentalist and an ardent dog-lover. He started rolling over as if he had met a long lost friend. Finally, I had to pet and caress him, to the embarrassment of the Dutch security staff.

NO LITHIUM NO! We are not allowed to pack lithium ion batteries into our checked luggage. We are only allowed to take in our carry on. The reason being that checked baggage in the hold could have the lithium batteries start a fire and no one would be the wiser until it is far too late. It may not be ideal to have that lithium ion battery fire take place in the cabin instead, where there are special bags for containing such an event. If you follow this particular advice of the video, you will be putting yourself and all of the other passengers at risk.

2. several airlines explicitly forbid putting lithium batteries into checked baggage, it is only allowed in carry on despite what is described here. It is easier to detect faulty batteries in the cabin and deal with them.

Excellent video and I don’t say this very often! Good information clearly presented with video and an excellent narrator!

These are really neat tips for packing! Thank you for posting!

I've always wrapped all my clothing in tissue paper. It really does work for keeping everything fresh and the clothes dryer sheets I pack. But i use them at home too in all my drawers theyre fabulous for keeping things fresh.

I was wondering how to pack my trimmer with its combs and all...after watching your video i got idea of packing it in a sunglasses box...👍 thanks for indirect help

I go to the Philippines several times a year, basically spend half my time there. I bring coffee from the US every time. No problems. Actually it's nice because the bags of coffee I have are equiped with one-way air valves and at cruising altitude most of the air has escaped. Once we have landed, the bags of coffee are vacuum sealed bricks basically haha. Keeps them fresher longer imo

I once got stopped at the airport security check because I had one of those bluetooth trackers inside my carry-on, that apparently are not TSA compliant. Had no clue about it! I now bought a TSA compliant tracker, GEGO, works pretty well.

Thanks for the “bundle wrapping “ idea!

What really helped me the most is tip 21 Dryer sheets work so well i have never thought of this before but now bright side told me Thanks bright side

My problem has never been fitting everything in my suitcase, its been keeping it under the weight limit.

Yes this will be very useful for my flight to the kitchen.
