What Items Are Not Allowed In Checked Luggage? (2021 Updated)
You’re probably not even gonna listen to tome and tell you back it’s lost there are five things that you should never put into your checked luggage number one electronics do not put your electronics in there even if your checked bag is locked stuff gets stolen out of checked bags all the time and electronics are expensive. Yes, that means that your carry-on is probably gonna be pretty heavy but I’d rather have that than have my camera stolen on my way to my holiday not only could it get stolen but have you ever seen one of those TV shows that shows what happens behind the scenes in an airport.
They throw your suitcases all around there in the rain there in the cold and your electronics could get damaged expensive jewelry. I don’t think you should bring expensive jewelry on a trip with you anyway but if you’re gonna bring anything make sure you put it into your carry-on again stuff gets stolen even if you think you’ve hidden it. They’ll find it personally I only take my costume jewelry with me that way.
If something happens to it or it gets lost or stolen it’s not that big of a deal important travel documents whether you’re traveling abroad or flying domestically have your important travel documents with you when you get on the plane and when you get off this could be documented that you don’t think you’re gonna need for another couple of weeks things like hotel reservation confirmations prove that you have flights in and out of a country or the information that you need for your transfer to get to your hotel.
There are a couple of reasons for this one is that obviously your bag gets stolen or lost then you’re gonna be stuck at the airport and not know. where you’re going or how to get to your hotel also if you’re flying to a foreign country when you get to immigration you need to have all that paperwork with you just in case they ask you any questions like where are you traveling to after you leave this country or where are you saying things like that you need to have with you so you can present it to the immigration officer and show them exactly.
What your plans are for your trip leave may I have a little experience in this have that stuck with you do not pack all of your clothing into your checked baggage the reason Isay this is because if your bag gets lost even for a day when you get to your destination you’re gonna be completely out of clothes and if you’ve been on along haul flight and you’re like meI feel gross and disgusting and all you want to do is hop in the shower and put on a clean set of clothes.
You won’t be able to do that so pack the next day’s clothes into your carry-on bag and include a little bit of extra underwear and bras if you need to as well believe me if your bag gets lost you won’t be happy that you hack these sure your airlines gonna reimburse you for anything. you’re gonna have to buy up to a certain amount but still wouldn’t it just be nice to have your own stuff that you can wear I always pack an extra bathing suit in my carry-on to that way if my bag gets lost I guess I’ll just hop right into the pool or head to the beach when I get to my hotel finally chargers so you haven’t packed your electronics into your checked bag you’ve put in your carry-on great do not forget to put your chargers into your carry-on as well again if your carry-gets lost your electronics will be pointless.
If you don’t have any chargers to give them extra juice also some countries require that when you go through security that your electronics are able to turn on so if anything is dead like your cell phone or your laptop you could run into some trouble so keep all of your chargers in your carry-on bag. I know it’s getting a little heavy so those five things should definitely be in your carry-on baggage and not your checked bag.
