    I would never fly without at least a smallcarry-on in the cabin. I always put supplies (hygienic and clothes) for 2 days in my carry-on, so that I have them on me in case the Airline fucks up my checked baggage

      Yeah same. As a rule, I try to never put anything in my checked luggage that is irreplaceable (if it gets lost completely), or that I would need immediately if it arrives late (medication, etc).

      I have also had cases where the TSA has gone through my bags and shattered the fragile items in there because they couldn’t be bothered to repack it gently. So yeah, no precious or time-sensitive items in my checked bags unless absolutely necessary.

      I understand that though but that’s one of reasons I have a good travel insurance. Basically no-questions-asked allowance when luggage is delayed. So I’ll be fine. I don’t really need any medicine or have any essential items anyway, that can’t be replaced.

        It’s not about the money, I am insured there as well… It’s about the peace of mind that you can wear a clean pair of clothes and have your teeth brushed when shopping for new clothes the next day
