Checked baggage is very convenient for long trips, as you are going to need to pack more with you. Here are some of my tips and tricks for preparing and packing your checked baggage.
1. If you are getting a new suitcase, I suggest getting a bright color, or fun pattern to help you identify your bag quickly in baggage claim.
2. To prevent your suitcase from popping open all over, buy a luggage strap to help insure that your suitcase will not pop open.
3. When packing liquids, untwist the top of the bottle and place a piece of plastic wrap on the top of the bottle, then twist the cap back on. This will help to put an extra seal on the bottle.
4. Roll your clothes instead of folding them. This will help prevent wrinkling, and it saves space too!
5. Plan your outfits ahead of time. Doing so helps me from over-packing. I like to lay out the outfits on my bed, and take pictures of them on my phone, then I pack the outfits together in my suitcase. I usually don't plan out what I'm wearing each day, but just plan out the number of outfits needed for the amount of time I'm gone for.
6. Make sure to leave room for any additional things you might buy on your trip so you don't have to worry about fitting them somewhere when its time to leave.
7. Finally and most importantly: do not put your laptop, chargers, or anything very important to you in your checked baggage because it could get lost and or damaged.
Happy Traveling,
