Pro Packing Tips for Smart Travelers
Pack by day, not by category
Instead of separating clothes by type (shirts, pants), plan outfits for each day. This prevents overpacking and makes dressing easy on the go.
Use packing cubes for instant organization
Assign one cube per clothing type or outfit — they save space and keep your bag tidy throughout your trip.
Wear your bulkiest items during travel
Save suitcase space by wearing your heaviest shoes, jackets, or sweaters on the plane.
Roll, don’t fold your clothes
Rolling minimizes wrinkles and allows you to fit more into your luggage.
Use ziplock bags to separate liquids and small items
Prevent spills, speed up security checks, and keep essentials easily accessible.
