Travel experts are urging passengers flying with Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet, and TUI to avoid packing certain everyday items in their checked luggage this summer. A viral TikTok warning from @thepointsguy highlights the risks of placing plug adaptors, electronics, prescription medication, and valuables in hold bags.
The expert advises that plug adaptors and high-quality suncream should always be carried in hand luggage, as they may be difficult to replace if checked bags go missing. He also warns against packing jewellery, cash, and sentimental items to prevent financial or emotional loss.
Prescription medication should remain in carry-on bags, as obtaining refills abroad can be challenging, especially during weekends or holidays. Electronics are also vulnerable to theft, despite most airport staff being honest.
The warning has been widely praised on social media, with users commenting that they only pack clothing and shoes in checked luggage, keeping everything else in their carry-on. This advice comes as millions prepare for summer holidays.
