Checked Baggage Travel Hacks
- Put an AirTag in your checked bag.
One time my bag was accidentally sent to the wrong country. Thankfully, I had an AirTag, which we were quickly able to show to baggage services to contact the airport that received it by mistake.
- Fill your extra shoes with socks
When packing extra shoes, fill them with socks to make better use of space and prevent them from getting crushed
- Flip suit jackets and long coats inside out
This prevent them from wrinkling. I know it may sound crazy, but it works!!
- Bring a mini baggage scale
Buy a mini scale at the dollar store or Amazon so that you can double check your baggage weight before being surprised at the airport. Many airlines are becoming very picky and want the weight to meet requirements exactly.
- Check available seats after check-in
Some airlines allow you to change your seat for free after check-in. Check back 4-6 hours before your flight departs because some better seats may have become available!
