Charge it fully the night before, engage the travel lock if it has one, check the voltage rating on the body, and pack it in a case with its attachments.
Four things, all of which take a minute.
Full charge, because a quick charge at the destination assumes a compatible socket — and only five products here publish a quick charge at all.
Travel lock, because the alternative is a tool that has run itself flat in the bag. Two products here publish one; on the rest, the manual often describes a button-hold sequence that does the same thing.
Voltage. 100–240 V means a plug adapter is enough. A single figure means it is not, and six products on this site are North America only — the difference between an adapter and a converter is the one that destroys tools.
A case, because a blade in a wash bag meets everything in the wash bag, and alignment is what a knock disturbs. The travel cases shelf here holds two, cut for a clipper and a OneBlade; the ProCase at $18 has movable dividers and is the generic one.
The battery inside the tool may go in either bag; a spare cell or a power bank stays in the cabin — see spare batteries and power banks on a flight. For a particular flight the carrier’s own published conditions are the authority.
Check your own manual before you follow anything here. Temperatures, water ratings and supply voltages differ from model to model, and the maker’s own figures take precedence over anything written on this site. A supply of the wrong voltage is a failure rather than a slow charge, and the figure is printed on the tool — not inferred from a connector that happens to fit.
