Don't Put Coffee In Your Luggage and 23 Other Tips
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- When you're getting ready for a flight, two main things you might be worried about is how to stuff all your travel essentials into your modest-sized suitcase and how to get through the security screening as fast as possible. Interestingly, both of these things depend on how carefully and thoughtfully you pack your carry-on and checked luggage.
Do you know, for example, that if you don't charge your laptop before the flight, it may be confiscated? Packing an electric brush in your carry-on may land you in trouble at the security check.

How to get rid of the "suitcase clothes" smell 7:08
SUMMARY:
- Leaving your electric brush in your checked suitcase will make passing the security scanning easier for you.
- If you have a lot of clothes, it's better to use special compression storage bags.
- If you want to take a clutch or some other kind of a mini-bag, you may be asked to pack it inside your carry-on.
- Both your carry-on and checked luggage pass through an X-ray scanner. It can't see through the aluminum foil because this material effectively blocks X-rays.
- When you're traveling with a single carry-on bag, take advantage of sample-sizes! The most experienced travelers collect all the samples they get and take them on a trip.
- If you don't have special shoe bags for keeping your dirty footwear, pack your shoes in cheap plastic shower caps.
- Suitcases do tend to get lost from time to time. Imagine your chargers being gone along with your bag!
- Put some sheets of tissue paper between your folded clothes. Many travelers swear that by minimizing the pressure and friction, this simple action reduces wrinkles.
- While packing your bag, stuff your shoes with socks, ties, and other small objects.
- Compressing your bag by zipping it often helps to create more space inside.
- To prevent your chargers from getting tangled (ugh!), you can store them in sunglasses cases.
- If you're traveling with a backpack, make sure that its center of gravity is as stable as possible. Pack the heavy gear so that it's closer to your back and somewhere in the middle of the bag.
- Experts recommend to roll your clothes when you're traveling with a backpack and fold them if you bring along a suitcase.

Hey guys! What's your favorite type of coffee? (I love cappuccino! ☕)
Same for me
I love Mocha!
Frapaccion (the one from Starbucks can't spell it 😂)
@@TKM12 frappuccino
Americano
I too never had any problem carrying coffee. Thank you for the tips
Never had an issue packing coffee, and this includes bringing it back from Laos. Never stopped.
The trouble with vacuum packing clothes. Is that it’s likely you won’t have a vacuum to repack your worn clothes to come home. Meaning if you used it to fit more things into your bag, you’ll have less room returning.
There's this kind of packaging that you need to roll, so all air be forced out before you sealed it. No need vaccum machine, just a bit of human power, esp. when we use larger sizes 😅 It worked well for me though..
Packing cubes and compression stuff sacks.
I bought a set of vacuum bags that comes with a manual pump. May take a little longer but works very well.
Just sit on it. All the air leaves
I have a bag that’s the size of a carryon, but it’s a backpack. It has compression straps on the outside, so you can tighten it up after you’ve packed it! Works great!
I've always wrapped all my clothing in tissue paper. It really does work for keeping everything fresh and the clothes dryer sheets I pack. But i use them at home too in all my drawers theyre fabulous for keeping things fresh.
Uh, that’s an amazing idea IF you don’t mind the fact that there are a multitude of chemicals in the dryer sheets. I’d never use them. Scented candles & perfumes are similar, loaded w/ chemicals and they all damage the immune system. I follow scientist Hulda Clark - she’s amazing, and has 3 or 4 huge books out that go into extensive detail on what happens AFTER the immune system is damaged w/ chemicals , incl. Benzene.
😊
Put all liquids 3 ounces or less in a ziplock bag . Also put passports , tickets , and other important papers in a seperate ziplock bag in case liquids leak or in case of rain .
I have to take castor oil 5litres. And it's critical to take it what should I do. Please give me ur advice
@@srivatsavmattaparthi4915 the bottle needs to be in checked luggage. Also, seal the bottle and wrap with cushion or clothing to avoid breakage.
What really helped me the most is tip 21 Dryer sheets work so well i have never thought of this before but now bright side told me Thanks bright side
You can put the used dryer sheets in your shoes before putting your socks and other things in your shoes.
Please don’t forget to pack necessities in your carryon/personal bag! Medication, glasses, toiletries, chargers, a change of underwear and something to sleep in if you get stranded. I usually take a large sleep shirt. They don’t take up much room. I’ve been stuck overnight many times, and doing this makes everything so much easier.
great tips thank you
And a swimsuit if it's an island vacay
Smart, thank you 😊

I prefer a camisole and yoga pants as sleep wear. Takes up very little room. Or depending on the season, can be worn under your clothing as an extra layer.
Yes this will be very useful for my flight to the kitchen.
Hahahaha
I’m a world traveler, never had problems with my electric toothbrush and coffee that I packed in my checked luggage.
It's mostly us Americans that have to deal with insane airport security.
watchdealer11 that’s not true
London valentine Friedland United, delta, American airlines
I brought back coffee n cookies from holland to america and my expensive luggage was ruined by the time i got it back, A Day after i was home. Ill nvr bring back food again. Wasnt worth losing my luggage. Looked like my luggage fell out of the plane, it was so bad. All the wheels broken, the metal logo on front half hanging off, lock missing and all the deco on the front some how half scrapped off. And i had to file for missing luggage n wait to recieve it at my home the next day.
Same here. My husband and I always bring several bags of Swedish coffee to the states when we visit - never had an issue
Once when I arrived at the Amsterdam airport from South America, a sniffer dog started checking us ( may be for narcotics). When the German Shepherd came to me he 'sniffed' that I was an environmentalist and an ardent dog-lover. He started rolling over as if he had met a long lost friend. Finally, I had to pet and caress him, to the embarrassment of the Dutch security staff.
That is So Sweet!!!
I go to the Philippines several times a year, basically spend half my time there. I bring coffee from the US every time. No problems. Actually it's nice because the bags of coffee I have are equiped with one-way air valves and at cruising altitude most of the air has escaped. Once we have landed, the bags of coffee are vacuum sealed bricks basically haha. Keeps them fresher longer imo
Can we pack coffee powder in luggage bags?
So funny, I came to the comments section to also write about the coffee bean bricks! LOL
Is medicines without prescription and unpakaged food item allowed while boarding through phillipine flight..?
NO LITHIUM NO! We are not allowed to pack lithium ion batteries into our checked luggage. We are only allowed to take in our carry on. The reason being that checked baggage in the hold could have the lithium batteries start a fire and no one would be the wiser until it is far too late. It may not be ideal to have that lithium ion battery fire take place in the cabin instead, where there are special bags for containing such an event. If you follow this particular advice of the video, you will be putting yourself and all of the other passengers at risk.
Well said Josh Anderson. I don’t understand why this video recommends what the airlines prohibit to do in regard to lithium batteries. They must be put in the carry on bags and not in checked bags.
I’ve packed lithium battery’s. It depends on the watts of the battery.
Items with lithium in device are only allowed on carry ons.
Finally someone said it
safety first. do you really want to risk a airplane fire in mid-air while you are on it
2. several airlines explicitly forbid putting lithium batteries into checked baggage, it is only allowed in carry on despite what is described here. It is easier to detect faulty batteries in the cabin and deal with them.
I can confirm based on recent travel between the US and Europe. No lithium batteries were allowed in checked baggage, they asked at each check-in.
That was noted
in this.
so…. what about r18 - ehem - objects?
they also sell special fire proof battery cases
Thank you!
Thanks for the “bundle wrapping “ idea!
Honestly I love watching all these videos it makes me feel a little smarter after watching them .
Excellent video and I don’t say this very often! Good information clearly presented with video and an excellent narrator!
I once got stopped at the airport security check because I had one of those bluetooth trackers inside my carry-on, that apparently are not TSA compliant. Had no clue about it! I now bought a TSA compliant tracker, GEGO, works pretty well.
So did they take your tracker or what? Also what makes one TSA compliant vs another.
@@jayasmrmore3687 Guarantee TSA did not take the tracker, they could care less about those things, just another BS story
Before Starbucks, we Louisiana People always carried our coffee with us when traveling.
These are really neat tips for packing! Thank you for posting!
Now i know my phone really listens to my conversations , seeing I’m traveling Thursday
😝🤪😜
Never bring bottles of liquid, not even face cream in your carry bag, they will ask you to throw it no matter how expensive it is! Put it in the big luggage.
Thankyou
Me ,watching this in lockdown when every thing is stopped ,for timepass
Me too
I am a life traveler but there were still a few points that I could learn here good info.
And the most important thing you forgot is be careful from pickpockets! Especially in Spain!
Among airport staff? 😮😮
They actually tell you not to pack lithium batteries in your checked baggage, rather keep them in your carry on. Funny how they talk about laptops, which have lithium batteries and then say you can't pack toothbrushes in your carry on.
Always cracks me up when these videos give tip number 1. Great for getting there, but what about getting all that stuff in the bag on your way home? Are you supposed to pack the vacuum with all the space you saved? Stoopid
I bring coffee all the time when I travel. I understand the issue but never had any problems with it. This is more to do with US flights perhaps.
Me too
I brought coffee into the us.
Not really either. I bring coffee from Colombia to the US all the time. No problem. No additional security checks on either checked or carry on luggage. This video is not exactly bright.
Another reason to avoid the U.S. .
I checked in at least 6 glass coffee container in my hand carry from Vancouver BC to Portland OR and didnt have problems.
I was wondering how to pack my trimmer with its combs and all...after watching your video i got idea of packing it in a sunglasses box...👍 thanks for indirect help
My friend and I had our bags pulled and searched because we both had 6 bags each of 100% Kona coffee from the Big Island! My friend sent us home with high end coffee for gifts for family and friends.. I thought for sure they were gonna ask us about all our fishing gear because we flew there for an Ulua fishing tournament and they wanted to inspect gear that showed up on the xray scanner. They even called for backup while they questioned us about the dozen foil coffee packages that showed up as square black blobs that they thought was contraband! We almost missed our flight because the search took so long! I guess the Big Island isn't only known for awesome Kona coffee!😁🤙🏽
Checked or carryon bags?
@jayasmrmore3687 our bags were carry on.
I really wanna go 0:03
I haven't gone anywhere for 6 months😭
I haven’t been anywhere for 1 year
I haven’t gone any where in 5 years be grateful
@@lukeholland1927 same
I laughed when I saw a candlestick, but thought...there's no telling what people will pack for their flights.
Hmm, I was told to put lithium batteriets in carry on. Makes more sense if there is any slight risk they should catch fire
Tip for travelers : If you have prescription medication , always pack it in carryon not checked luggage . If your suitcase gets lost you wont have your medicine .Keep medicine in original prescription bottles with your name on it .
I now live in a country where my name is not on any medication. So weird. In the Netherlands the name of the doctor is on it, your name and address, the date and the dosage. Now I have medications of my whole family and have no idea whose what was and when it was prescribed. I don't bring my original packages though. That would take up so much space. Never had a problem. But I hardly ever fly.
After my checked in bag was lost at the beginning of business travel (and left with no clothes for the next days!) I made it a habit to bring 1 pair of pants, 1 shirt, underwear and socks in my carryon bag... just in case! :-D
@@gojump7 you can always buy clothes and any products at your destination too.
Good bright side you show things bright only
Thumbs up 'cept for rubbing the wax candle over suitcase!
My carry-on rucksack contains everything I actually need for my holiday. That means binoculars, camera, passport, purse (in the British usage) with currency and credit/debit cards, phone, medication, notebook and pen, booking confirmation and itinerary, sunglasses, sunscreen, toothbrush, sun and rainhats, and of course boarding pass. Plus one set of clean underwear. I've never had my hold baggage delayed or apparently opened. It has nothing but clothes and indoor shoes in it.
That’s the way my husband and I pack.
Where are your clothes. Like a couple of T-shirts. And one pair of underwear. Yikes.
Love you bright side.
Vacuum bags are a mistake unless you can source a vacuum cleaner for the return journey - unless you leave stuff behind.
You know, with a zip lock bag about 20x30cm ish, you just fill it and then sit on it to expel the air, then seal it up before standing up again.
@@margareth1504 Sure, but I think it was about the type of vacuum bags that you can hold 2 giant chunky winter coats or a king size duvet - not the smallish ones you are describing.
The only items I put in my checked bag is some spare clothing. Perhaps some gifts or little items that could be easily replaced.
Only handy at using the vacuum cleaning for its main purpose. Never need to pack extra!
I had my phillips norelco electric tooth brush in my backpack passing through 4 screenings in 3 different countries including US and it was not an issue what so ever at any of those destinations. I even had 18650 batteries for my vape gear and only once was I detained because I carried too many pairs lol
Yeah many airlines require Li-On batteries only in carry on. If there is a problem in flight it can be detected early.
The video mentioned checked baggage, not carry-ons :)
I have been watching these videos to help me get ready for my trip to Florida tomorrow and they really help
thx bright side
I'm watching these brightside videos because I've not been on a plane since I was 6 😢😢
I've been 2 times traveling. I'm also traveling this month✈
me to
@@lmaooololl same I’m going out on the 25
INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL
Absolutely true. Laptop in my backpack, charger in my checked luggage. It had been in sleep mode and died so I could not power it up. Thanks to the stickers on my laptop they let it go. (USAFSOC, Law Enforcement, SWAT)
We take our own coffee to and from Bali every time (approx twice a year) We always declare it and have never had an issue. I love the large IKEA ziplock bags for storing shoes.
I have to take castor oil 5litres. And it's critical to take it what should I do. Please give me ur advice anyone
You can bring an electric toothbrush on a plane in your carry-on bag. It's not something the TSA worries about. The TSA is more worried about your toothpaste than your toothbrush which should be limited to 3.4 ounces! In fact, the best place to pack electric toothbrushes is in carry-on bags for three reasons.
Put all your electronics on your carry-on.
I am a fan ! So cool video !
I took my own coffee from Australia to America and then traveled all around not once was my coffee questioned 😁 I also carried a kettle 😂😂😂
Kettle is fine in checked baggage, you may get a notice of inspection but otherwise it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s prohibited in carryon.
HI, WATCHING FROM ITALY..THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. VERY USEFUL.
Rolling everything conserves the space in suitcases or knapsacks ❤
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
I do both folding and rolling actually. You can fold them neatly in a way that they won't get wrinkle much then roll'em. Tried and tested
My problem has never been fitting everything in my suitcase, its been keeping it under the weight limit.
Same :/
My last bag was 49.2!!!! 🤣
Me too!!
Exactly 😂
Same
Bright side, this video is awesome, thanks for going in-depth on planes.
How about chocolates or other foods.. it is allowed for handcarry??
I've never had an issue with bringing coffee back. However, I pack it in a carryon bag in a way that makes it easy for staff to pull it out for secondary inspection. FYI, the mylar packaging is also a bit problematic for screening.
Work as a Security Controller 👮🏻♀️ about the film. If we were to check it manually, we’d have to open the lock and look inside. But then the film would be to no use because then it would be broken. The x-ray machine doesn’t harm the film, but it is up to you what options you choose
Hi! Can you please inforrm us if they check your cash money? Can they see them on the scrreen?
@@marymaystrali1956 just declare everything honestly or pay the fine
Hi if I use the vacuum bag to minimize my stuff.. did tgey open the vacuum bag or only checking wat is n the bag thnk u
Hey everyone, instead of negativity I hope you all have an blessed and awesome life❤
than k you so much. i have subscribed to you
Thx
Thank you for your comment here, BLESS YOU TOO, AND, I FEEL A BIT BETTER SEEING NICE WORDS OF COMFORT WRITTEN HERE! HAVE A TERRIFIC NIGHT!
Coffee has been the reason to search my luggage four times. Today they searched my luggage because I had two pouches of chai tea spices. I think some thing about the loose powder and granules is a flag for possible explosives. Next time. I will just carry them in a shopping bag so they’re easy to inspect.
Do you keep in checked luggage or carry on
Write "Just" on a piece of paper & put it in your suitcase, just in case.
Lol 😆😂
😂😂😂🙃 !!!
😝🤪😜
Thanks for the tip with dryer sheets. To me, gass cases are heavy for wires. I put them in zip lock bags.
i need to learn how to bundle fold in #15. that looks cool.
Very helpful. Thanks 🙏
Hmmmm, I have been buying coffee from every country I have travelling to, and packed them in my checked luggage, never had any problems. Maybe this applies to the country you are in.
Rolling, definitely rolling whether in a backpack or suitcase.
Cool,amazing,fantastic etc video
A long time ago, when I picked up my duffel-bag in the airport terminal, on one side it looked like it was dropped in a water puddle. When I got to the quarters, I opened it up and found my little jug of laundry soap had cracked open. I spent a while down the hall, running my clothes through the washing machine!
They let you take laundry detergent?
Pack the suitcase nice and neat
I hope we will be able use these tips soon
I found out the Bright Side Algorithm
Put videos about the air
I like the candle 🕯 waxing idea 💡 to protect your luggage 🧳 from rain 🌧 😀
I doubt if the author actually tried this WAX idea. The bags will be so messy from the wax and dirt buildup after going through the baggage conveyer system you’d throw it away after the trip. Better to buy and use a water repellent spray or buy a weatherproof piece of luggage, which most are.
I’m going to Arizona soon and I am excited to go!
I hope whoever reads this to have a nice day or night.
Thx you do aswell
Same to u
Thank you and to you also..
Thank for helpful tips👍🏽
Another informative video!👍
Tsa officer for the better part of the last decade here... Almost all of this is completely BS in the USA at least. My favorite thing was the impenetrable tin foil...lol
I had a sandwich in aluminum foil and coffee in my carryon, and they never said anything to me. TSA told me I could carry a lithium battery in my carryon (phone charger) but NOT in a checked bag. This video is incorrect.
Bruh, this was made by a sneaky Russian company just to squeeze money off the Algorithm
Great tips!
I love bringing home from Japan.
This Coffee issue seems little controversial. I fully agree that its used for masking smell of some of the contraband items. However small sealed packets ( 2 gm sachets) or small 25-50 gms sealed bottles atleast have never posed any problems to me ( more than 40 international trips), as always carry my coffee with me, with water kettle and milk powder. The only problem once I faced was spillage. My son handed me over an opened bottle instead of a sealed one. It was a silly mistake from my side. Since then I keep this bottle or small sachets inside a zip lock bag. No accidents since then. 😅
The belly bag one is partially true. Some airlines make you put them in your carry on bag
Definitely Writing it down in my ‘airport tips notebook!’
5 years ago I took a couple 3 pounds bags of coffee in my suitcase. Didn't have a problem. When I got home a friend sometimes smugglers pack drugs in coffee. Wow! On the trip back, without coffee, they did go through my luggage. They messed everything up. I found a note from TSA.😳
I will use this next week
We always bring coffee home with us when we return from SE Asia, and yes, we usually get extra scrutiny. Still, it's worth the hassle.
Those small candles that come in a metal tin with a lid: always gets me hand searched. Put it in your checked bag
0:50 I thought that Lithium Batteries couldn't go in the checked luggage but had to go on the carryon.
Correct. That’s one thing this video is wrong about
Thank you
I know I’m not going anywhere but I still watch these
My father always bring 3-4kg coffee 🙄🙄🙄
Am I they only one who wants to put the coffee in luggage thing on purpose?🤗
Oh, wow! TSA has cracked down on Lithium batteries packed in checked bags. Electric toothbrushes, electric razors, etc. They want them removed with the passenger moving them to carry-on. That can force someone to be removed from and perhaps miss the flight to take care of it.
The reason is simply that flight attendants now have what they need to react to and take care of a Li battery in a carry-on if it starts to catch fire. Not much anybody can do when it’s packed in a checked bag in the hold.
It’s not a big deal if you put coffee in your luggage. I always put 4 bags of coffee beans in my checked-in luggage because my aunt loves coffee from Canada (she lives in the US). TSA usually opens 2 out of the 4 bags to make sure it is coffee, then vacuum seals it again, then you’re on your way. It didn’t delay me or anything.
Don't forget to declare it, if you need to, because it may be taken off you as contraband.
Coffee from Canada? I heard of coffee from Colombia, Dominican republic and Puerto Rico but never from Canada didn't they can make coffee up there?
@@jackrosario9990 my Aunt likes Tim Hortons coffee lol. She thinks it’s special. Who am I to change her mind?
5:22 like u think my charger is expesive than my new clothes and suitcase
I'm early... But not that early!! But at least I'm here!!! BTW love your videos!!! ♥️♥️💖💖😁
I think some coffee disappeared from my luggage from the UK to Australia.
