I fly 2-4 times a week with my deck. I have made a mental check list that I use to confirm I have everything that I brough with me.
My recommendation for anyone who doesn’t fly often is to carry a small notebook with a checklist to check every time you go somewhere. Visually check that you have everything on every trip.
Leaving home? Check your list.
Just passed airport security? Check your list.
Your group was called to board? Don’t be in a rush, check your list.
Sitting down in the plane? Check your list.
Wheels touched down at your layover location? Stop what you’re doing as soon as the plane touches down! Check your list, put everything in your bag. Too many people wait until they’re getting off the plane to get their things together.
Repeat for the 2nd flight. Repeat after you get your checked baggage and when you get to the hotel or destination. I started doing this after I lost a tablet. Over the 18 years that I have been traveling for a living I have lost 1 tablet, 2 sets of earphones (1 was stolen) and a Nintendo Switch (stolen out of my bag at work).
