With the heightened security at airports,
many people wonder how to properly pack their suitcases before a trip. There
are many items that are currently illegal to bring on an airplane, so it's
important to do your homework before packing your personal items for travel.
1Include everything. Make a list of all the
items you need on the road and then do a walk-through in you your bedroom and
bathroom. Tick off each item as you add it to your bags.
2Visit the airline's website or call the
carrier. Ask if everything you plan to bring is permissible. Most personal
items, such as fingernail clippers and nail files, are allowed on board. Other
items are permitted only in checked luggage, while others are allowed in
carry-ons. Check with the airline for a list of prohibited items before
packing. Many carrier websites provide this information, and you can check with
the airport.
3Pack your personal items in clear,
sealable plastic bags. You can use a toiletry bag that comes with your luggage
set, as long as it's lined with plastic. Put anything that can spill in a
plastic bag. Tighten the caps and lids on containers and seal the bag shut.
4Remember the 3-ounce rule. All personal cleaning
items like shampoo and conditioner must be in containers no larger than three
ounces. You can usually find these small plastic bottles at your local discount
store or drugstore chain in the toiletries section.
5Bring documentation for any prescription
medications. This is especially true for controlled substances like ****.
