Don't let it ruin your trip
Here are my 6 top tips for packing your hand luggage so you're ready to enjoy your holiday from minute one, even if your main bag takes a detour.

Pack a full change of versatile, comfy clothes (underwear, socks, top, bottoms).
* Your Life's Little Essentials ๐
All prescription meds (plus extras!) and essential over-the-counter remedies (pain relievers, allergy meds) belong with you. If you can't live without it for 24 hours, pack it!
* The Digital Command Centre ๐ฑ
Your phone, charger, crucial adapters, and a portable power bank are non-negotiable.

Travel-sized toiletries like a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and face wash make a huge difference. Remember the 100ml liquid rule.

Passport, wallet, important documents (physical and digital), jewellry, and expensive electronics stay with you. Don't risk losing irreplaceable items!
