13. Bring a carry-on bag

Now this is Travel Hack 101.

Bring a carry-on bag and make sure to pack the most important and urgent items in it. A well-organized carry-on bag allows you to efficiently pack essential items, ensuring you have everything you need for your journey without overpacking or forgetting crucial belongings.

Always pack a change of clothes,  identification, travel and insurance documents, medications, electronics, and valuables in your carry-on bag. These items will be readily available during the flight. You will be able to access entertainment, snacks, clothes, or personal hygiene items without having to open the overhead bin or disturb other passengers.

You will also reduce the risk of losing these items due to mishandled or delayed checked baggage. This provides peace of mind, especially when traveling with valuables or essential items.
