Waiting for a 100 people to stuff bags into full overhead bins and always so frustrating while boarding.
Clothes and toiletries in a roller carry-on and really important stuff (valuables/chargers/ID) in a backpack. If you get caught by "we're checking your carry-on to the final destination!" let the roller bag go and keep the backpack with you.

I also put my important stuff and electronics in a small bag that I keep with me at my seat. get one with a large enough handle/shoulder strap so you can hook it over your rolling carry on for more ease of movement within the airport.posted by JPK on

Oh and yeah, since you have your little 3oz shampoo with you, but not in a super sturdy bottle, because it was a carry on, it will now explode. have fun.posted by joco on
When we were flying to Aruba, they did the always awesome, Hey, all of you with carry ons, yeah, you're going to gate check all of those. Plus you don't get them back at your layover, instead we'll just for real check them. But, since we're super nice, we won't make you pay to check them. That is how awesome we are.posted by bakerysensei on

Luckily, the person who accidentally took my bag realized their mistake, and also had no interest in stealing any of my stuff. :p The airline took care of it and I had my bag by the next day, but it taught me a really valuable lesson -- if you can't see your stuff, don't assume that it's in the same place you left it!
