A domestic flight: which items you can send
Documents, clothes, books, gifts and small electronics are what people usually send within the country. Food is fine if it is well packed and won’t leak, but remember that liquids in cabin baggage are limited and perishables may not last until the recipient gets them.
The more compact the parcel, the more willingly it is taken: weight and size matter to the traveler. Prepare photos and videos of the items and packaging for JetJoin, put original documents in a waterproof envelope and make copies in advance.
