24. Wear your extra luggage

Pros: More space in your suitcase
What you need: Extra clothes
Cost: Free

Instead of caving in and checking an additional bag when there are only a few necessities inside, consider other options. Nobody wants to pay more money to check an additional bag. If you can, put on your bulkiest items of clothing and wear them to the airport. Once you pass security, you can always remove it if it becomes too uncomfortable. This works as well if you’re worried about the weight of your hand luggage but yet want to travel light. Simply put the jacket on during security checks and tuck it later into your luggage. It seems obvious.

The last thing you want to do is spend a lot of time playing spot the bag at baggage claim after spending the last ten hours on a journey and are about to pass out at your hotel.

Simply fasten a scarf, tie, or other piece of material to the handle in a vibrant color. Before you can say “lost and found,” you’ll be able to see it from a mile away and be in that taxi on your way to your destination.
