3. Wrapping your luggage with plastic wrap

Airport security has the right to check your luggage if the agent has a reason to suspect any wrongdoing. This is usually a simple and relatively quick process. Unless you decide to wrap your luggage in plastic wrap. If you do, you’ll be making it harder for the security agent, it will also take much longer, and he won’t bother to rewrap it once he finishes his inspection. If you are worried that someone might steal your valuable items, you should just be more careful, aware, and read the next tip.

4. Carrying valuable items in your checked bags

This is a rookie’s mistake! Every experienced traveler knows that checked bags frequently get damaged, mishandled, or stolen, no matter the airline or airport you’re at. That is why you should always carry valuable items such as electronic devices and large sums of money with you on your carry-on bag.

5. Wearing your best clothes

Most people like to look good and stylish. But do you really have to wear extra tight jeans, high heels, and an extravagant, large and baggy jacket to the airport? The answer is, “no!” These are clothes you should never wear at the airport. Instead, comfortable clothes are the right choice for you! Remember that you will spend a lot of time walking around in the airport and confined to a small seat inside the airplane for hours. Comfort should be your number one priority, not fashion.

6. Keeping important documents at the bottom of your bag

Your identification card, passport, money, and flight tickets should always be in an easily accessible pouch, so you can get them out quickly whenever you need them. And you will definitely need them. Speaking of carrying things at the bottom of your carry-on bag, you should also keep electronic devices and liquids easily accessible. You probably already know this, but passengers are asked to put these items into a separate tray for scanning. So you don’t want to mess up your whole bag and take an eternity just to get them out.
