Got a lot to pack? We know how much of a pain it can be to
have minimal room in your luggage and not wanting to pay extra to put it in the
hold.
This may sound obvious, but you could impose the physical limitation on yourself of having only a small case, so you’re not tempted to over pack.
Folding clothes takes up too much space — rolling them up,
on the other hand, can make much more room. Definitely worth a try, at any
rate!
Always Put Your Shoes
at the Bottom
Shoes are always clunky and you, annoyingly, can’t fold them. This is always why you should put them at the bottom of your suitcase. As well as avoiding getting any dirt on your clothes, it helps save room, not to mention you can squeeze socks in there too.
Need to take a belt? No problem! Simply make the collar
stiff and wrap the belt around it, almost like a neck tie. Alternatively, put
it around the side of your case to save room.
Use Glasses Case for
Smaller Items
Jewellery and contacts can easily get lost in a suitcase.
Best to store it all in one place than to risk spreading them throughout your
bag.
Wear Bulkiest Clothes
Don’t put your bulky jumper in your case! If you wear it to the airport, then you’ll have much more room to play around with.
Before you even begin packing, make a list of items you need. If you spot something you can do without, get rid of it! Books, makeup, iPads, anything that is inessential to your trip doesn’t need to be there and being rid of them frees up your luggage space significantly.
