PACKING ......
Plan in advance
1. Lay out all the clothes you want to bring
and then put half of them away!
2. Roll your clothes - you fit more in!
3. Mix and match your outfits and layer for
colder weather
4. Bring as many crease-free items as
possible.
5. Pack a week’s worth of clothes for 2/3
weeks holiday. Most destinations will have
access to washing facilities.
6. Holiday Rule: 3 tops for every bottom
7. Limit shoes as they take up too much
room and add weight. Pack socks and
underwear into shoes to utilise the space.
8. Pack heavy items at the bottom of your
suitcase, close to the wheels. Weighting the
bottom of the suitcase will make it more
stable when transporting.
9. Use a plastic, ziplock bag for your
toiletries - you’ll need it for customs anyway
so why bring a separate washbag?
10. Decant all your liquids into 100ml
bottles - no panic when you forget to pack
one away in your check-in baggage!
11. Pack jewellery & cosmetics in a bag that
will also do as a 2nd handbag.
12. Pack a scarf! It has multiple uses: sun
cover, eye mask, towel, make-shift bag, skirt
etc.
13. Put your contact details, home and
abroad, inside your suitcase. If your luggage
goes missing, there is no guarantee that your
luggage label will remain attached to the
handle.
