There is no power high like moving effortlessly through airport security, getting into your seat with ease, and then getting out of the airport faster than the rest of the folks on your flight and beating them all to the cab line. It’s not that you wish them ill will, it’s just that when flying is the worst it’s the worst and not letting it get to that point is a triumph.
Depending on the length of the trip and your wardrobe needs, your packing strategy for getting through the airport without losing your mind may change. Here’s one way of doing it that we can get behind: double mid-size duffle bags in lieu of rolling luggage, XL weekenders, or camping backpacks. Rami Malek used this trick at the airport yesterday and, not only did he look great (he was hauling Dior Homme bags in case you were wondering), but it helped him stay highly mobile.
The advantage of double duffle bags is that it prevents you from having to check a bag and, unlike a rolling suitcase, it keeps your stuff close to your body so you can zip through the crowds and down narrow aisles easily. Put one of the bags in the overhead storage, and one by your feet while you’re in the air. Or squeeze them both up there; they’re small and flexible enough to fit into even the most packed compartments.
We also like double duffle bags because it just looks super stylish—like you might possibly be a very young and nonviolent mafia boss. This makes the job of getting out of the airport if not more efficient, at least more enjoyable. Pick a pair of bags that coordinate without matching exactly. We like Malek’s Dior Homme luggage (florals FTW) but you can cop this look in a number of different ways.
