'Genius' flight attendant packing hack to stop toiletries from leaking in your suitcase
Packing can be a nightmare, especially when Brits have to follow specific baggage allowance rules. However, one TikTok user has shared some useful hacks.
Packing is easier said than done when it comes to trying to fit everything into a suitcase for a holiday especially if someone is travelling for more than a week away.
Baggage rules are becoming stricter and harder for Brits to pack the essentials even if they're travelling for a weekend getaway.
Thankfully, one TikTok user has shared simple packing techniques to ensure we sail through security the next time we fly.
The user, who goes by the username @jeffandlaurenshow, shared the hack with her 487,000 followers.
In the clip, they captioned the video: "Pro Packing Tips for Travel! Tips and tricks for packing clothes, toiletries and more while travelling this holiday season! Hacks for staying organised!"
For the first hack, Lauren said she learnt this tip from a flight attendant and could be seen cutting the top of the balloon off and using the elastic to put over a can of deodorant to stop the toiletry from leaking in her luggage. She then popped the toiletry into her cosmetic bag.
Next, viewers could see a suitcase standing upright, Lauren then stacks her folded clothes instead of laying the luggage flat.
For those who tend to buy alcohol abroad or duty-free, this tip will come in handy. The user grabbed a bottle of wine and used two nappies to wrap around the glass. She fixed one nappy to the bottom and another nappy to the top of the bottle to stop it from breaking before popping it into her suitcase.

Meanwhile, who wants dirty shoes on fresh clean clothes when packing? Well, Lauren shared a hidden zip compartment under the suitcase and out of the way of the clothes.
Unzipping the bottom of the case she placed the shoes at the bottom before zipping it back up and placing the clothes on top.
Finally, Lauren how travellers can stop getting their luggage lost when travelling abroad. She could be seen popping an air tag into the middle of the clothes in a bid to keep track of the items from her phone.
Many people took to the comment section of the video to praise the packing tips, with one person writing: "Whoa! I’ve always wondered why there was a zipper inside the suitcase!"
One user said: "The diaper thing IS genius. Also, how do I spend half my life travelling not knowing to put my shoes inside that layer? Oh my god. Thanks, buddy."
However, not everyone was convinced by the techniques shared, with one person writing: "Roll your clothes, takes up less space for travel and home! and diapers are too expensive for that and we don't all have them sitting around."
Another commented: "Cos everyone carries nappies with them." A third added: "I work at an international airport and I wouldn't recommend having a bottle of anything in my check bags no matter how well you wrap it."
A user said: "I checked the price of diapers and they are more expensive than the wine I drink."
