What are your air travel micro-hacks?

[MEL_Traveller]

I travel with a roll of masking tape and use it to seal the lids of any bottles of liquid that I take with me. Shampoo, deodorant, etc. I used to do the zip lock bag thing, and sometimes still do as “belts and braces”, but I find the masking tape generally does the job well.

I use the bag tags! They are super strong and sticky. The little peel off tabs are ideal for small bottles. And solves the issue of recycling, or leaving them behind in the hotel rubbish bin where someone can then get your details.

Gotta love a Deodorant spill in the toiletry bag!

Electrical tape is what we use to seal bottles of chemical for transit in my line of work - the additional seal I mean - some chemicals have an amazing propensity to get out of any container. So handy to travel with a roll too, black being the optimum colour to cover up those annoying flashing or otherwise LEDs on alarms, TVs and air conditioners.
Additional ziplock bags never go astray too.

Electrical tape is good for when you want to be extra safe, but masking tape has the advantage of being much easier to peel off for low-risk liquids.

I think I got a bit wary of masking tape as it doesn't age well. Grab an old roll and it doesn't stick much at all. Electrical tape is okay if you can find the end!
