flight: passport(+wallet) safekeep

k_short_term_mem_challenge

Passport is a constant concern that tires down sys2. My simple rule:

  • OK to keep it hung on chest throughout the (however long) flight, but better to put it in the backpack.
  • — two-passport
  • keeping 2 passports together is not ideal. The old passport gets in the way when I frequently take out current passport.  Perhaps keep old passport in pouch
  • .. The old passport — Don’t leave in hand luggage. Instead, keep it with current passport like in pouch. Just ask yourself “what’s the cost if lost“. For Jan 2024, will leave it in hand luggage.

Wallet with low cash amount — keep in backpack with passport.

Note cash is more “attractive” than passport, to those “other people” since passport has no cash value.
