Here are some of the carry-on tips to take note of when going for a flight…. It’s important to get this in mind in order to avoid any flight delay or cancellations.
Firstly, you need to make sure you separate your liquids such as aerosols, gels and powders. It should be presented separately at the security screening, in a transparent plastic bag not more than one litre in volume.
Always make sure you equally separate your devices.
Another piece of security screening is to always remember to remove your laptop from your bag so it can be screened separately. Pack it at the top or in its own compartment so it’s easy to remove when required.
In order to get things easier for you, it’s always recommended to use packing cubes which helps to compartmentalise your bag, making it easy to find specific items in a hurry and save space.
Pack heavy items over the wheels. If you’re packing a small bag with wheels, load the heavier items over the wheelbase. This will help prevent your bag from toppling over and make it easy to maneuver through the airport.
Always wear heavier jackets that you have so as to avoid stuffing them in your bag, which can end up taking up all the room in your carry-on. Either wear or carry bulkier clothing; this won’t be considered in your carry-on allowance.
Use the space inside your shoes by packing items inside them to maximise space.
Use airport measuring bays if you’re unsure whether your bag meets the size and weight requirements for carry-on luggage, don’t wait until the check-in counter to hear the news. Many airports have measuring bays where you can double check your bag, in case you need to move some items into your checked luggage.
Pack high-value items like travel documents, sunglasses, jewellery and cash with you in the cabin, especially as some of them may not be covered by your travel insurance if packed in checked luggage.
In-flight theft might sound unlikely, but it certainly happens. Remember to avoid leaving your expensive items unattended while sleeping, going to the bathroom or stowing your luggage. Ask a friend or family member to keep an eye on it if you’re sleeping or away from your seat. Or if you’re travelling solo, consider investing in travel lock to keep your belongings secure.
