Afraid of losing your luggage? Here’s what you should pack in your cabin bag

It's something that I think that all travellers to the US need to know, given the potential and disruption at airports at the moment there is always a risk that you may be separated from your luggage.

That being said I would always advise you to pack essential medication that you need for your trip in your hand luggage, that way if you do separate from your stored luggage then at least you will have your essentials with you.

I will also pack a change of clothes in my hand luggage, again just in case I'm separated from my stored luggage.

I will also normally pack any currency that I need in my hand luggage. To be fair I don't take that much in currency with me, naturally some cash is appreciated, but I normally pay for everything else on my bank card.

Also if there's anything sentimental in your luggage then I would strongly consider packing that in to your hand luggage, just in case you get separated from your luggage, or even worse, your luggage gets lost. Therefore anything sentimental try and pack in your hand luggage.

So remember take your medication with you, have that stored in your hand luggage , same for any baby food, have some of that packed in your hand luggage because you just do not know how long you will be separated from your stored luggage, hopefully it will not happen, but it does on occasion.
