Best Practices - Personal Belongings
Just got picked up by a regional and am looking for some uncommon advise (at least uncommon to these boards that I can see). I am an ultra-light backpacker and love carrying just the bare necessities with everything in close reach. What strategies have you come up with for managing your personal belongings while flying? I am thinking of sewing plastic sleeves into my passport to hold my certs, DL and a credit card... What size luggage? Which items have made all the difference and which are easy to do without?
Thank you,
Thank you,

Agree on the passport, apparently it's not a good idea to use it as a notepad and for writing down phone numbers in the back…had a heck of a time going through customs one time. Also, don't use a passport holder, they hate those things. Try to act like you've been there before, just use a wallet and keep your passport in a pocket on your suitcase. That works for most, if you like to travel frequently in and out of the country on days off, you will kick yourself real quick if your a keep your passport in your flight bag kind of guy. If I'm going anywhere, so is my suitcase. So, I just keep the must have things always in my suitcase. Good luck and enjoy the ride!!!

How well do freezer bags hold up in air travel? If I am going trough the extra effort of packing fresh clothes, I better keep the dirty clothes sealed off.

I mean, as long as you can manage to shower everyday and avoid pi$$ing or $hitting yourself over the course of 3 or 4 days, then you can just place your worn clothes in another compartment of your bag or in an old grocery plastic bag till you get home.
