How to Pack Like a Pro

Packing doesn’t have to be a chore. With these simple tricks, you can save space, avoid baggage fees, and ensure you have everything you need for your trip.

• Roll, Don’t Fold: Rolling your clothes tightly saves a surprising amount of space and helps prevent wrinkles. This is a game-changer, especially for t-shirts and jeans.
• Choose a Color Palette: Stick to a limited color scheme for all your outfits. This makes it easy to mix and match items, creating multiple looks from a few pieces.
• Wear Your Bulkiest Items: Put on your heaviest jacket and largest pair of shoes on the plane. This frees up crucial space in your luggage and keeps you comfortable during your journey.
• Pack Smart, Not Just Light: Use packing cubes to organize your items and compress them. It also makes it easy to find what you need without rummaging through your entire suitcase.
• The 3-1-1 Rule: Remember this for carry-on liquids: all liquids must be in 3.4-ounce (100ml) bottles or smaller, placed in one clear, quart-sized plastic bag, with one bag allowed per person.
