The last thing anyone wants when boarding is for their suitcase to be damaged during travel or worse – lost.
And although you might think your luggage was left at Manchester or Heathrow airport rather than being with you at your sunny destination, at least you can retrieve it when you’re at home.
But if your clothes are ruined, there’s not much you can do.
A flight attendant has revealed the careless things passengers do that can ruin accessories, shoes, tops, shorts or electrical items.
Cher Dallas, who has been in the aviation industry for five years, called the act “heinous, evil and diabolical.”
She said: “Putting your water bottle with liquid in the overhead compartment, or any type of bottle that contains liquid, is one of the most heinous, evil and diabolical things you can do on a plane.
“I find it tempting to do this if it’s in the outside pocket of your backpack.
“But every time, without fail, as soon as we take out the water bottle it will leak.
“Not only does it soak everyone’s bags, but the water always picks up one person and follows a stream and completely falls out of the upper locker onto that person.”
The knowledgeable pamphlet also recommended avoiding traveling if you’re feeling unwell and not going to the bathroom in times of turbulence.
It comes after a travel expert revealed the best way to stuff your hand luggage so you don’t have to pay for a huge suitcase.
One Bag Travels on YouTube said: “Use synthetics and avoid cotton. They are light, strong and more versatile.
“A good rule of thumb is to pack enough toiletries to last a week and then plan to restock on the go, especially for ‘easy to get’ items like soap, shampoo, and deodorant.”
Other luggage tips
TRAVEL experts have suggested the following to help make traveling and packing as easy as possible:
- Wear your largest, heaviest items of clothing on the plane.
- Fold your clothes using the rolling or flat-packing method.
- If you can wash your clothes while on vacation, don’t take so many.
- Cut down on toiletries – buy them at the airport or abroad if you can.
- Take only the essentials. Don’t take more than you need.
