1. Choose the Right Suitcase
Consider the length of your trip and airline restrictions. Opt for a lightweight, durable suitcase with good wheels
2) Make a Packing List
Write down everything you need to bring
Categorize items (clothes, toiletries, electronics, etc.)
Review and eliminate non-essentials
3) Check the Weight Limit
Research the Weight Limit of your chosen airline.
Opting for a lightweight suitcase allows for more space.
4) Gather All Items Before Packing
Lay out everything you plan to pack
Double-check against your list
5) Use the Rolling Method
Roll clothes instead of folding to save space and reduce wrinkles
Works best for casual clothes like t-shirts, jeans, and sweaters
6. Utilise Vacuum Storage Bags
Organize clothes by type or outfit & compress items to create more space
7) Pack Heavier Items at the Bottom
Place shoes, books, and other heavy items near the wheels
This helps balance the suitcase when it's upright
8) Fill Empty Spaces
Stuff socks and underwear into shoes
Use small items to fill gaps between larger ones
9) Layer Delicate Items
Place delicate or wrinkle-prone clothes on top
Use tissue paper between layers if necessary
10) Pack a Carry-On Wisely
Include essentials like medications, valuables, and a change of clothes
Pack chargers and entertainment for the journey
11. Keep Toiletries Separate
Pack toiletries in a separate bag to prevent leaks onto clothes
12) Leave Room for Souvenirs
If you plan to shop, leave some extra space
Consider packing a foldable bag for additional items
13) Secure Your Suitcase
Use TSA-approved locks for added security
Add a luggage tag with your contact information
