The post You Won’t Need to Check In Luggage with This Clever Neck Pillow Hack appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>There have been far too many horror stories of bags not arriving at the final destination, not being loaded at stopovers, or not being put in the cargo hold at the departure airport in the first place. Whatever the scenario, the result is you left stranded without your clothes, toiletries, and other belongings.
It’s a great case (ahem) for why you should take just a carry-on.
But how many items of clothing can you really fit in hand-luggage? Well, not the most, but frequent travelers have discovered a hack.
A neck pillow is practically an essential element for flying so that you can be comfortable while aboard the plane. But there are neck pillows that can actually double as storage spaces.
Those like the Tube Travel Neck Pillow and the Dot & Dot Twist Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow allow you to stuff up to 3 days worth of clothing inside them.
Both pillows can be ordered online, so you can have peace of mind on your next trip.

]]>Get Ready to Layer
Like with all travel, packing for fall weather is especially all about layering. Try to bring items like short- and long-sleeved t-shirts, cardigans, and sweaters that you can layer over each other for days that are warmer and colder.
Bring One Jacket (And Wear it on the Plane)
No matter the length of your trip, you’ll never need to bring more than one jacket. It just isn’t worth it to bring more: they take up way too much space. And by only bringing one, you’ll be able to avoid taking up any space at all with it in your carry-on as you can just wear it right onto the plane.
Roll Your Clothes
Sweaters and scarves are chunky but airy, meaning that they take up much more space when folded than they do when rolled. So go ahead and roll these pieces into your suitcase so that they take up as little space as possible.

]]>Smelly Snacks
While it is always nice to have snacks with you, some foods like meats, cheeses, and fish shouldn’t be kept in your carry-on. Other items to avoid are garlicy, stinky, and spicy ones.
Battery-Operated Items
Battery-operated items like razors and electric toothbrushes can turn on when they move around your bag, drawing the attention of security. The last thing you want to deal with is being stopped by security and missing your flight. If you need these items either pack them in your suitcase or bring them in your carry-on with the batteries packed separately.
Ｔｈｅ Ｍａｍａ Ｑｕｅｅｎ (@rainaelegado)Weapons
By now this should be obvious, but weapons should never be packed in your carry-on. Items like mace, knives, nail clippers, and box cutters are considered weapons, so never bring them with you.
Liquids Over 3.4 Ounces by Volume
Liquids, gels, and aerosols must be 3.4 ounces or less. Buy travel-sized toiletries or get reusable travel-size bottles for your perfumes, shampoos, and soaps.
Sports Equipment
Sports equipment like golf clubs, baseball bats, ski poles, hockey sticks, and pool cues can be used as weapons, so they aren’t allowed in your carry-on. Smaller sports equipment like tennis balls and basketballs are allowed.

]]>Toiletries
Even if your bag doesn’t get lost, you’ll appreciate being able to refresh after your flight with some toothpaste, deodorant, and moisturizer after that dry airplane air wreaks its havoc on your skin.
A Change of Clothes
In the worst case, packing a change of clothes will ensure you’ll have something to wear at your destination while you shop for new clothes. And a change of underwear is extra important!
Medications
If you take any medications, you want to be sure that you’ll have them with you when you land.
Portable Charger
You never know how long you’ll end up being without access to a plug while you’re traveling. Keeping a portable battery and charger in your carry-on will ensure you won’t lose power to your phone, without which we can barely function these days.
