00:00Going somewhere?

00:04When you're getting ready for a flight, two main things you might be worried about

00:08is how to stuff all your travel essentials into your modest-sized suitcase, and how to

00:13get through the security screening as fast as possible.

00:17Interestingly, both of these things depend on how carefully and thoughtfully you pack

00:21your carry-on and checked luggage.

00:24Listen up!

00:251.

00:27If you don't charge your laptop before the flight, it may be confiscated.

00:32It's not uncommon for an airport security officer to ask you to power your device up.

00:37If you fail to do it, your gadget can be taken away for an additional check.

00:42For safety reasons, it's crucial to make sure that it hasn't been tampered with or

00:46modified in a way that can cause harm during the flight.

00:502.

00:52Packing an electric brush in your carry-on may land you in trouble at the security check.

00:57Brushes produced by some brands have lithium batteries inside, and those can potentially

01:02lead to serious problems in the air.

01:05That's why leaving your electric brush in your checked suitcase will make passing the

01:09security scanning easier for you.

01:133.

01:14You can pack much more efficiently with the help of a vacuum cleaner and several plastic

01:18bags.

01:19Roll your clothes, carefully stuff them in a zipper plastic bag, and close it, leaving

01:24just a small hole.

01:26Then use the vacuum cleaner to remove all the air from the bag and zip it shut.

01:31If you have a lot of clothes, it's better to use special compression storage bags.

01:374.

01:39Airport authorities warn that the security equipment that's used to screen-check luggage

01:43damages undeveloped film.

01:45Oh, are you the one that still uses film?

01:49Well, if you want to avoid fogging, put your undeveloped film roll in your carry-on.

01:55Carry-on baggage scanners aren't so powerful and aren't likely to harm the film.

02:00But try not to let your film get scanned several times, otherwise say your goodbyes.

02:05Or you can always ask security officers for a manual check.

02:105.

02:11No one will object if you bring a belt bag along with your carry-on on board the plane.

02:17But if you want to take a clutch or some other kind of mini-bag, you may be asked to pack

02:21it inside your carry-on.

02:226.

02:26Avoid wrapping your things in aluminum foil when packing your bags.

02:30Both your carry-on and checked luggage pass through an X-ray scanner.

02:34It can't see through the aluminum foil because this material effectively blocks X-rays.

02:39But security staff see only dark spots on the screen.

02:42That's why your checked luggage will be examined more thoroughly, which will take

02:46additional time.

02:497.

02:50All unusually shaped objects you've decided to put in your suitcase, such as a stapler

02:56or a long candlestick, will definitely seem suspicious to security officers.

03:01They'll want to check your baggage more thoroughly, so try to arrive at the airport

03:06in advance.

03:088.

03:10Although almost all airports in the world are equipped with modern security devices

03:14these days, your hand luggage is examined by people.

03:18The reason is simple – many substances look similar while being scanned.

03:22That's why, if you want to sweep through the security check, don't put musical greeting

03:27cards in your carry-on.

03:29They might raise suspicions passing through a scanner.

03:32Honey, sausages, or cheese can also look unsafe to officers.

03:379.

03:39When you're traveling with a single carry-on bag, take advantage of sample sizes.

03:44The most experienced travelers collect all the samples they get and take them on a trip.

03:49If it's a short journey, transferring your everyday products into travel-sized bottles

03:54seems like a waste of time.

03:56You can store sample products in contact lens cases – it'll prevent liquids from spilling.

04:0210.

04:03When you put a pack of coffee in your luggage, be ready for an additional check.

04:08Airport security officers know all too well that criminals use its strong odor to conceal

04:13the smell of not-so-legal substances.

04:1711.

04:19If you don't have special shoe bags for keeping your dirty footwear, pack your shoes

04:24in cheap plastic shower caps.

04:26Put a shoe, sole down, in a shower cap, and the rest of your baggage is safe.

04:3212.

04:34Every checked bag gets its own sticker with a unique barcode that contains the information

04:38about your flight and its destination.

04:41If you choose to leave these stickers on your suitcase after the flight, your baggage can

04:46get lost during your next trip.

04:48A special scanning system that distributes passengers' bags between planes can get

04:53confused by multiple barcodes and send your suitcase to the wrong plane.

04:58Uh-oh.

04:5913.

05:00By the way, if your bag looks suspicious to the security staff, and they opened it, there

05:07should be a special sticker on it, informing you that your luggage has passed an additional

05:12check.

05:1414.

05:15Never leave your chargers in your checked luggage bag.

05:19Suitcases do tend to get lost from time to time.

05:21Imagine your chargers being gone along with your bag!

05:2615.

05:27You can avoid having your clothes wrinkled by using the bundle wrapping method.

05:32Fill a small bag with some soft things like underwear, socks, and so on, and wrap a larger

05:38item around this pouch so that you get a neat bundle.

05:4316.

05:46Tissue paper is another thing that's said to keep your clothes wrinkle-free.

05:50Put some sheets of tissue paper between your folded clothes.

05:54Many travelers swear that by minimizing the pressure and friction, this simple action

05:58reduces wrinkles.

06:0117.

06:03While packing your bag, stuff your shoes with socks, ties, and other small objects.

06:08This way, you'll save some precious space, and your shoes won't lose their shape.

06:1418.

06:15If your suitcase is made of fabric, you can protect it from snow, rain, mud, and other

06:20problems with the help of a good old candle.

06:23Make sure your bag's dry, and rub the candle all over its surfaces.

06:28The wax it's made from will create a thin, water-resistant layer.

06:3319.

06:35If your suitcase seems too small for all the stuff you want to pack inside, try closing

06:40and zipping it.

06:42Compressing your bag by zipping it often helps to create more space inside.

06:46When you open it again, add more objects to all the available spots you'll notice, for

06:51example, between larger items, in the corners, or along the sides.

06:5720.

06:58To prevent your chargers from getting tangled, you can store them in sunglasses cases.

07:04It will also make them easier for you to find in your bag.

07:0821.

07:10Wire sheets can help you get rid of that weird suitcase clothes smell.

07:14Just put a couple of sheets in your bag, and they'll not only keep the stench at bay,

07:18but will also make your luggage smell nice and fresh.

07:2322.

07:25Try to avoid packing just-in-case items.

07:27This case you're waiting for is likely not to come up at all, but half your suitcase

07:32will be occupied with totally unnecessary stuff.

07:36And if the need arises, you can always buy everything you need at your destination.

07:4223.

07:43If you're traveling with a backpack, make sure that its center of gravity is as stable

07:48as possible.

07:49Pack the heavy gear so that it's closer to your back and somewhere in the middle of

07:53the bag.

07:54The right-left distribution should also be even.

07:57You can use medium-weight objects as stabilizers.

08:0124.

08:03People are divided into two groups – those who fold, and those who roll.

08:08Experts recommend to roll your clothes when you're traveling with a backpack, and fold

08:12them if you bring along a suitcase.
