Updated: Jun 1, 2021

Ever had to pack for a trip and feared you couldn't fit it all in your carry on? Well fear not, this post is for you! Conquer the packing blues with these quick tips.

 


Packing Cubes

If you haven't heard the craze on these packing cubes you should really do some research. These are a great way to save space and organize items!


Each cube is a different size and can store all your essentials! They come in a range of color and materials so be sure to read reviews! It's an easy and effective way to get your packing done with tight space. The price can range anywhere from $8-$15.


Travel Sized Items


Everyone knows that on a carry on your liquids can only be up to 3 oz. What people fail to realize is that when your are traveling light everything should be travel sized not only your liquids! Take a trip to your nearing dollar store and find travel sized deodorant and toothbrushes.


Travel with your travel sized makeup and cologne. Put everything in the refillable containers like lotion, soap and shampoo the smaller it is the more space you have!


Luggage


Finding the perfect luggage is crucial. A carry one bags dimensions are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches. But there materials are all optional.


Whether its cloth or plastic your going to need to decide which is best for you. If you are taking a long trip a fabric material that is easily expandable might be your best bet.


A hard luggage may be better for you if you have valuables that you don't want getting pushed and pressed into!


Folding properly


Whichever luggage you decide to use can easily be packed improperly and cause you to loose so much space. The best way to pack your clothes are by using a space saving technique!


For T shirts and pants, fold your clothes by rolling them into a perfect cylinder. Pack everything like this and magically see your luggage transform in to a neater space!


Airport Attire


When it comes to flying with a carry on the easiest way to save space is to wear your heaviest and space consuming items. Like jackets and boots!


Doing this simple trick will help you out in the long run when you feel like you might not fix everything. Anything that is way too large for the suitcase then throw it on when you're on the way out the door!


Leave the What if's


If your picking out your outfits and a lot of the clothing options are "what if's". For example, what if we go out on a fancy dinner or what if i need an extra outfit?


Plan ahead if you know exactly how many days you will be there then plan accordingly. Know what outfit your wearing on what day and for each occasion that you plan.


The worst thing you can do is over pack items you don't even end up needing or using. So bite the bullet and DONT PACK THE WHAT IFS!
