Travelling Abroad? 3 Packing Mistakes That Can Cause Airport Stress

When preparing for an international trip, it is easy to focus on flights, visas and accommodation. But what you pack—and where you put it—can also cause problems at the airport.

Also confirm your baggage allowance, especially if different airlines are involved in your trip. Extra baggage fees at the airport can be expensive. For those who travel abroad often, what packing mistake have you made that you will not repeat?
