A flight attendant known as CiCi in the Sky on TikTok shared in an interview the seven biggest mistakes passengers make when packing for a trip.
In an interview with Business Insider, TikToker CiCi in the Sky revealed the 7 biggest mistakes passengers make when packing. She also shared more efficient ways to organize luggage.
Overpacking the carry-on bag
With six years of experience working for a well-known U.S. airline, CiCi shared that a common mistake is when passengers overpack their carry-on bags.
The flight attendant commented that this can interfere with the crew’s work, so it is important to ensure that the bag is light enough for the passenger to lift it by themselves.
Bringing more than two bags
Many passengers forget the baggage limit imposed by airlines. CiCi advises checking whether the airline charges for extra bags.
Not using a personal item
CiCi states that items such as books or headphones that can be used during the flight should always be easily accessible, so there’s no need to pack them in a separate bag.
Not packing liquids properly
When packing liquids, CiCi recommends using screw-top containers, as they are less likely to leak compared to snap-top ones.
Not bringing a reusable water bottle
The flight attendant advises passengers to bring an empty reusable bottle to stay hydrated during the trip.
Forgetting to bring snacks
Some airlines, like Frontier Airlines and Allegiant Air, no longer provide snacks or meals on flights. CiCi says passengers should bring their own food to avoid going hungry.
Bringing heavy items in the carry-on
Bringing heavy items in the carry-on bag instead of wearing them during the flight can take up valuable space in the bag. CiCi advises leaving as much space as possible for more important items.
