A lot of times, you can manage to pack everything you need into a carry-on that fits in the overhead bin. But sometimes, checking a bag can be a life-saver totally worth the extra dollars. Let’s take a look.

Long Trips

If you’re traveling for longer than a week, it probably makes sense to check a bag. This way, you won’t have to stress about not having all your essential items for the trip. Plus, you’ll have more room to bring back souvenirs. 

Sports Equipment

Oftentimes, bringing your own sports equipment, like skis to a ski trip, will end up being much cheaper than renting equipment upon arrival. Even when you factor in the luggage fee, it’s still a better deal. Plus, you’ll feel more comfortable in your own gear. 

Health Concerns

One of the benefits of checking your bag is that you limit the hassle you have to go through during security. You also reduce the amount of heavy lifting you have to do during the trip. If you have any health concerns or trouble lifting heavy items, checking a bag might be the right decision for you. After all, nothing is more valuable than your health.

Experienced travelers already know what they can and cannot bring in their carry-on bag, but what about your checked bag? There are certain things you’re allowed to bring in your checked bag but shouldn’t because they could easily get damaged or lost, and here’s what they are.

Electronics

All valuable electronic items that can easily be broken or damaged should never be stored in checked bags. That includes your laptop, camera, iPads, tablets, or even external hard drives. Pack all these electronic in your carry-on suitcase to avoid losing or damaging them.

Important Documents

We’re used to carrying our passport and boarding passes with us in case we need them, but that should be the case with all documents. Important documents, especially those that contain personal information, shouldn’t be stored in a checked bag.

Medication

Even though you can pack your medication in checked baggage, it’s always a better idea to have important meds on-hand in case you need them or the luggage gets lost.

Jewelry

If you plan on bringing valuable jewelry with you it’s best to keep it with you, because you don’t want to lose it in case your luggage gets lost.
