If only it were that simple. Packing the wrong thing in your checked bag has the potential to ruin your trip—especially if that bag gets lost, broken, or roughed up by baggage handlers. A simple rule of thumb: Pack anything of value or importance in your carry-on bag, in case your luggage gets lost by the bus operator. But there's more to keep in mind. Below, in no particular order, are 10 things that you should always leave out of your checked bag.
Jewelry and Valuables
We recommend leaving jewelry and other valuables at home when traveling, but if you must bring these items on the road, be sure to store them safely in your carry-on bag.
Take medications in your carry-on bag
Do you have any essential medications that you take on a regular basis? Don’t just pack what you need for your Bus in your carry-on, put it all in there. If you only have a day’s worth of medicine, and your luggage gets lost for three days, you could be in big trouble for a couple days.
Essential Documents
All necessary documents, whether they're work or insurance papers or other sensitive information, should be kept with you in your carry-on bag. But there is another solution—back it up. If you plan to put papers of importance in checked luggage, keep copies (either hard photocopies or copies on a flash drive) on your person.
Laptop and Electronics
Electronics ... should be packed in carry-on Bags because they are typically fragile, expensive, and more prone to breaking if transported in the Bus booth
Pack toiletries and a change of clothes in your carry-on bag
One change of clothes could come in handy as well.
Bring things to make yourself feel comfortable
Take some snacks with you, whether it’s something from home or you pick up something at the bus station
