40 travel tips to thank you for

So that the trip is not overshadowed by all sorts of inconveniences, the loss of expensive and useful things and the dragging of dimensionless suitcases, we have collected 40 amazingly simple and brilliant life hacks for you, thanks to which you can safely go on a trip light and in a good mood!

1. When booking a flight or hotel online, use the incognito mode. Booking sites often track your visits and can increase the price simply because you have already visited them.

2. Carry chargers and other wires in the eyeglass case.

3. Use drinking straws to take with you only the amount of cosmetics you need on your trip.

4. To keep clothes fresh, place antistatic wipes on the bottom of the suitcase.

5. To protect the chargers from unwanted twisting and breakage, use a spring from the old handle.

6. Avoid long lines at airport lavatories. The advice may seem trite, but the first closet of the terminal is always the most crowded. Use other toilets to avoid queues and save valuable time.

7. Paper clip helps protect razor blades.

8. If you forget to charge, the devices can be recharged via the USB port of the TV.

9. Do not fold clothes, but roll them in rolls: this will significantly reduce the amount of luggage.

10. If there is clothing that needs to be folded neatly, use tissue paper so that the clothes do not wrinkle.

11. Pill box - the best container for jewelry.

12. Before traveling, scan all important documents. In case of theft or loss, you will have copies of your passport, identity card, flight information, which can be easily found on your smartphone or tablet.

13. Speed up airport screening. Put all the small things - wallet, keys, telephones - in the travel bag before putting it on the conveyor belt. You will not need to lay out these things separately, so you save time.

14. Soap with a washcloth is better to fold in a special cosmetic bag on a fastener.

15. A shower cap can cover the soles of shoes.

16. Transfer your smartphone to airplane mode, this will save battery and allow it to charge faster.

17. To prevent the headphone wires from becoming entangled, wrap them around the paper clip.

18. Studs and hairpins conveniently stored in a Tic Tac box.

19. The collar of the shirt will not be wrinkled if you put a rolled belt in the middle.

20. Choose a place near the wing of the plane, there is not so much turbulence. Seats located at the wing of an airplane are usually the least susceptible to jolting during flight due to design features.

21. Do not throw away road containers; refill them instead of buying new ones every time.

22. The "OK Maps" function will save the images of Google Maps, and you will have access to them offline.

23. Try to pack all things in your hand luggage. Vacuum bags will incredibly reduce your carry-on baggage. In addition, there will be no need to inspect luggage.

24. Instead of buying water at the airport, take an empty bottle with you and fill it with water after passing security controls.

25. When booking seats for 2 persons, reserve seats by the window and near the aisle. If you don’t take a seat in the middle, you will have a whole row at your disposal; if they do, just ask that passenger to switch places to sit next to the companion.

26. Fold the jackets inside out so that they do not get dirty and crumple.

27. Buy plane tickets on Tuesday after 15-00. Usually at this time, large airlines make discounts on their services in order to compete with low-cost companies, such as Southwest or JetBlue. If you want to save, this is the time to buy tickets.

28. Make sure nothing is spilled in your luggage. Unscrew the covers, cover the holes with cling film and tighten again. This will prevent fluid leakage.

29. Remember when it is best to use the restroom of an airplane. Since most airlines do not allow queues for the toilet during the flight, it is best to use it immediately after leveling the aircraft and 15-20 minutes before landing.

30. WiFi passwords of various institutions can be found in the FourSquare comments.

31. Use GPS when traveling abroad. If you do not have a map of the country you are traveling to, simply download the Google map on the spot before leaving the hotel. Then turn off the Internet (or turn on airplane mode), turn on the GPS - and you can pretty well navigate the terrain.

32. If you forgot your mobile phone charger at home, ask for a free charge. Forgot your charge? Very often in the hotel at the reception you can find a full box of chargers forgotten by previous guests.

33. Skip the queue for baggage claim. Labeling your luggage with the label "fragile items" (even if they are not there) will force staff to handle it carefully. Such baggage is often placed on top of the rest and, therefore, the first to leave for extradition.

34. Save time on fees. A hanging organizer for things, in which everything is laid out in advance, can greatly simplify the process of collecting a suitcase when you are in a hurry.

35. Remove strangers from photos.

36. To save money, use ATMs instead of currency exchange points at the airport. Most ATMs will offer a better rate than exchange points.

37. Connect to WiFi at airports for free. At the airport, add "?. Jpg" at the end of any URL to avoid absurdly high WiFi rates. Or you can sit outside the waiting room: Wi-Fi signals can often be caught through the wall.

38. Traveling with your extension cord, you will become a hero and savior at the airport.

39. In order to pamper yourself, in memory of each day of the trip send yourself postcards. What a pleasure to return home and once again experience an unforgettable experience!
