Here are nine things that experienced travelers are no longer packing

Experienced travellers are skipping the hassle and risk of carrying large amounts of cash on domestic and international trips.

Instead of bringing an empty water bottle to fill up after going through airport security, more travellers are choosing to pack an empty thermos instead because it's so much more versatile.

Experienced travelers are also not taking their old phones with them as they head to the airport.

You'll probably never see an experienced traveler carrying just a small purse or a laptop bag to the airport as their personal item.

With increasingly strict carry on rules, weight is one of the first things to consider when choosing luggage.

Experienced travelers are no longer just packing a ton of snacks for their time at the airport.

With many airlines cutting back on serving meals, snacks alone are often not enough.
