Flying home for the holidays? Ship your gifts so you don’t have to check them or your bag. You can also opt to buy your gifts online, shipping them directly to your destination. This also reduces the chances of a lost bag and showing up empty-handed.
If you do decide to pack your gifts, remember do not wrap them, as TSA agents may need to remove wrapping paper during screening. As for returning with a sack full of presents? Compare the costs for checking extra luggage versus shipping gifts home.
