PACKING TIPS:
If you have room, keep your toiletries, medication, change of clothes and cell phone charger in your carryon. This has saved us a couple times when the airline has lost our luggage.
Some medications may require a note from your doctor such as epi-pens and other sharp items. Check with TSA prior to your flight. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all
Don’t overpack your suitcase! You will not have room for souvenirs.
Try rolling your clothes to make more room in your luggage. I tried it and not only does it work it helps keep clothing wrinkle free
Pack a grocery bag or garbage bag to keep dirty/wet clothes in
Pack toiletries in a zip lock bag to prevent leakage
