Can I nest bags in my luggage?
I'd like to put a filled backpack in my suitcase (for check-in luggage) along some other items -- this is to protect the items inside the backpack from damage.
Is this allowed/any other potential issues I should know about?
Best Answer
It's quite common.
You can find plenty of questions on this site with recommandations to do so, e.g. to have a bag for dirty clothes to separate them from the clean clothes.

Can I put another bag in my carry-on?
Typically in economy, you can bring one carry-on and one personal item. If you bring two bags, one must fit underneath your seat and the other can go into the overhead bin. If you're flying in an upgraded class like business or first, you may be allowed an additional carry-on bag.What Cannot be packed in a suitcase?

Answer 2
As others have said, yes, it is perfectly fine to do so. Last time I did this was only a couple of months ago, coming from Tbilisi to London. I left London with two bags, as I was taking quite a bit of stuff there and had to pay for the second bag. On the way back I only had a few personal items, so put them in the smaller suitcase and put the smaller one into the larger one. It was still within allowed weight, so nobody asked anything.
