30 Airport Hacks Every Traveler Should Know



1. Bring an empty water bottle

Since you can only bring 3.4 oz (100 ml) of liquid through airport security, I highly recommend packing an empty water bottle in your carry-on luggage.
Then you can fill it up once you get through security instead of paying the hefty price for bottled water at the airport.

2. Bring extra Ziploc bags

You never know when a Ziploc bag might come in handy while traveling. Store your liquids in a Ziploc bag so they’re easy to access when going through airport security.
I also like to store my electronics (cords, chargers, etc.) in a Ziploc bag so they don’t get tangled up in my luggage.

3. Keep your laptop in an easy to access place

When going through airport security, you’ll have to take out your laptop. Store it in an easy to access place so you won’t have to scramble through your carry-on luggage to find it in the security line.
Lately, I’ve been loving this bag from Matt & Nat. It has a padded laptop compartment in the center with a top zipper closure. This is perfect for having easy access to my Macbook when traveling.

4. Tie a bright-colored ribbon on your luggage

Use a bright-colored ribbon or luggage tag so it’ll be easy to identify. Your luggage will stand out among all the black suitcases at baggage claim.
I also recommend using a hard shell luggage case since they can be sturdier than soft-sided luggage and are a breeze to clean.

5. Bring your own healthy snacks

Airplane food leaves a lot to be desired, which is why I always recommend bringing your own healthy snacks instead. Just make sure to check the TSA rules ahead of time so you know what you can and cannot bring through airport security.
