Do you have any tips for packing a suitcase? |
Travel Info I want to put a lot in one suitcase so I don't have to worry about more than one bag. Travel Tips Tightly roll your clothing instead of folding it, it will take up less room and be less wrinkled. Try for one color theme so you can wear the same accessories. If you have room toss in a duffle bag, great for use to haul back dirty clothes freeing up suitcase room for goodies you buy on the trip. Consider contacting your hotel in advance and seeing what toiletries they supply for free in your room, many use good quality stuff so you may not have to pack your shampoo and bodywash. Always pack at least one more pair of undies & socks then you think you need..just in case. And have a great trip :) Others put the heavy stuff at the bottom, near the wheels. this helps it roll easier. Put any liquids inside a zip lock bag and take a few extra with you, and some plastic bags for wet or dirty items like muddy shoes. i always were the heaviest shoes and pack the lighest/smallest. be sure suitcase isn't packed to the teeth as you'll want some room to bring back extra stuff - atleast, i always find out i return with more than I left with :-) U should watch Mr bean series n hope hope easily understand packing suitcase. Try rolling clothes rather than folding Roll up all clothes neatly so they will not wrinkle, and will take up less space. If possible, don't iron before traveling, but after arriving. Take care with light or vulnerable fabrics: separate them from jeans and other potentially colour-leaking items. You don't want to have underwear and socks flying around if you or the security need to open the suitcase. I pack underwear and socks in a separate compartment that can be closed with a zipper. Another option is to pack them under everything else so they stay where they are until you empty the whole bag. Always put shoes on the surface, near bottom (near wheels). The security will want to see them in one glance when they open your luggage. I pack shoes inside transparent plastic bags to prevent dirt getting to clothes. All toiletries inside the suitcase should be inside something that prevents possible leaks from spoiling clothes. Anything that can break should be packed inside clothes and inside a full suitcase, so it can't move around when the luggage in hadled roughly (and it will, if you are flying). Heavy objects will move towards ground, put them to the end that will be under when you move the suitcase. Last: this has been very important! Never pack your suitcase so full it is too heavy for yourself to lift for at least a little time. |
