However, when it comes to your carry-on bag, you might feel even more pressure — since this is the luggage you’ll have accessible to you throughout your flight. So, before you cram everything into your checked bag, here’s what you should consider packing in your carry-on.
Carry-On Tips for Travelers
Medication
Any medication that you take should be with you at all times. If you were to put it in your checked bag, there’s no chance you’ll be able to retrieve it until you land. Therefore, you’ll want to keep this critical essential within reach.
Expensive Items
Let’s say this: If you spent over $50 on a singular item, you might want to keep it in your carry-on. Just in case your checked bag goes missing, there won’t be a chance of you losing a prized possession in the process. Items include, but are not limited to:
- Jewelry
- Designer items
- Family heirlooms/sentimental, priceless items
Cell Phone Charger
Gone are the days where the battery life of a mobile device will last up to a month (an exaggeration, of course). The minute you land, there’s a chance your cell phone might be on its last breath.
That said, consider taking your charger, and potentially a portable charging station, with you in your carry-on — that way, you won’t have to worry about not being able to call your loved ones or transportation when you arrive at your destination.
Other Essentials
Once you’ve packed your main essentials in your carry-on, it’s time to think about other important items. For example, it’s wise to bring clothing a change of clothes, small toiletry items that comply with airline regulations, important paperwork/documentation, and even a change of footwear wouldn’t hurt, either! No matter what, it’s always good to be extra prepared rather than under-prepared!
