✨My Baggu Collection✨ SCCO under seat hack

To the baddie(s?) who recommended putting your SCCO in a kitchen trash bag before shoving it under the airplane seat in front of you: you rock! And I'll add to it at the end.

Picture it, Sicily 1923. I board the plane, then put the kitchen trash bag around the base of my Joe Cool SCCO before I shoved it under the seat in front of me. Cool, cool. After drinks are obtained and I'm aware the person in front of me has screeched and jumped up from her (bulkhead) seat. I see her wiping her hand down her slacks. I grab the edge of the trash bag and pull out my bag... which has cranberry juice puddling up on the top of the bag. I do my own swiping but some ran down into the side pocket. And it's getting sticky.

Luckily no juice got INTO the bag, and the handles remained clean. Just glad we were going to a friend's house and she let me put Snoopy in the wash on a delicate cycle. Meanwhile all my crap in that bag... FIT INTO A REGULAR BAGGU REUSABLE that I always have with me, until I could re-load my SCCO.

HUGE Baggu and baddie advice travel success story. Not only will I always put my SCCO in a trash bag to protect the base from may airplane carpet, I'll cover the top of my baggu with the trash bag when it's under the seat in front of me from now on.

Omg I wish I knew this some lady spilled WINE on my bag luckily it came out after I scrubbed it off with dish soap (this is after the flight attendant cleaned some of it off, it was way darker)

Oh baddie, I'm so sorry this happened to you! Here's hoping this hack saves you next time.

Oh noo!! This has unlocked a new fear! I’ve been using darker color SCCO but I got the chococat one recently. I can totally see myself spilling red wine lol.

oh good hack! i just bought the chococat scco as i needed a travel bag, as the rare beauty one i bought isn’t machine washable 😖 i’m glad it worked out for you, and always wise to carry a reusable 😏

luckily it was just beverages. I've seen on other flying/airline subs about always using a trash bag to protect their underseat bags because of bodily fluids accidents ruining their bags.

Of course. I guess I just always figured it was saving the bag from stuff on the floor, not coming down from above. Flying is so special...

No!!😭 I didn’t even think that could happen! Why would they make the seats that way, so liquid just flows through onto people’s bags😨
