Travel Insider: famtip of the day
I always have all my toiletries (including my blow dryer), a change of underwear and a light cotton or Chinese silk bath robe in my in-cabin (carry-on) bag. If room permits I take a set of outerwear clothes as well. Then, if I by any chance my checked bag is either lost or stolen, I have all the absolute essentials I need when I arrive at my destination. Remember, most airlines only give passengers (in economy class) about $50.00 to purchase any immediate essentials when their luggage goes missing. This happened to me when travelling between Bangkok and Rome - I ended up in Rome with no suitcase and it never arrived despite the Crew Tags on my bag!!
