While some of us like dressing in comfortable clothing when we're travelling, others like to wear cute outfits to the airport. However, a pilot's wife has warned that you shouldn't sacrifice practicality for the sake of fashion. In fact, she's warning women to ditch their fancy tote bags altogether. That's because zipperless carry-on can be a right pain at the airport. Not only do many not have enough compartments for your flight essentials, the lack of zip can lead to your personal items spilling all over the floor. And unfortunately, this can lead to additional stress and even delays. Laurie, from Houston in the US, told her 306,000 followers: "Here's the one mistake women make when travelling. This travel mistake is packing their purses or bags with no zipper on the top because you can lose important travel essentials." If you're guilty of committing this airport sin, don't fret. Thankfully, there's an easy way to prevent this from happening. Laurie added: "The solution is, if you have to take that beautiful bag with no zipper on the top, do this... "Pack most of your items in pouches. Then if they spill out during security or during turbulence on the flight, you will see that pouch versus the one item." The informative post racked up 1,100 likes and plenty of positive comments. One responder wrote: "Love a zip top bag while travelling." Another agreed: "I prefer zippered bags even for everyday for the same reason." A third gushed: "Great tip! Thanks, Laurie." Meanwhile, a fourth added: "I love your tips." This isn't the only helpful carry-on hack you should be mindful of when you jet off abroad. Be sure to check out the stories below...
