I don't do any of the travel superstitions in the article, but I do have a routine I have to go through every time I travel. My routine is more about making sure I don't forget anything than just for luck, but if I deviate from it, then I find that I am anxious about the trip the whole time. Inevitably, I forget something, but without my routine, I usually forget something major like a passport or tickets. And I haven't found a way to cure it yet, but I am a Caucasian American with no outstanding features, and I get 'randomly selected' EVERY time I fly for extra security check. It can't be random if I get selected every time and I have flown at least 1ce a year for the last 10 years.
