Overpacking and overestimating a trip are common. Depending on the Airline you choose, flights and bag checks are expensive, no matter what.
Are you an individual that unfortunately has to overpay checking in bags? Do you leave your vacation with more in your suitcase than before? Are you flustered at the checkpoint going through things you must throw away due to overpacking? These 3 tips will help improve your packing experience, keeping your belongings fresh and neatly tucked in your luggage.
Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are great for organizing your luggage and prevent you from overpacking. The cubes will give you more space for extra things you might acquire on your trip. Clothes are always a struggle; you want to look your best every moment, but please remain practical. Pack what you need first, like toiletries and medication. Plan your outfits accordingly, and pack outfits that can become multifunctional between day and night activities. Also, pack fabric disinfectant spray to freshen up clothing throughout the trip.
Roll Clothes Into a Burrito
Let’s say you can’t help to pack that favorite shirt, or you made purchases on your trip. Rolling clothing articles is an excellent way to save room in your luggage. Rolling is only suitable for more casual pieces like t-shirts and denim. Place your bulky clothing articles and delicates off to the side. Depending on the luggage, you can use the folding or rolling technique, whatever works best.
Use Fabric Softener In Luggage
The other two tips are solutions to utilize more space in your luggage. But what about keeping your belongings fresh? Use fabric softener in your suite case, and place one fabric sheet between your clothing articles throughout your belongings. Again, there is fabric disinfectant spray out there to help freshen up soft fabrics as a second option. These tips are a great way to start actively staying organized while not being tempted to overpack. Incorporate these practical tips and have a happy, organized trip.
