Here you can find 10 useful lifehacks for packing a suitcase for vacation!

 

Make a list of everything you will need ahead of time.

Save time

Make a list of everything you will need ahead of time. To make sure you don't forget anything at the hotel, keep it on your phone and check it before you go home. Remember the fundamental looks that you can pull off with your holiday wardrobe. When packing, this can help you locate the appropriate outfits for the trip fast. It will also come in helpful when traveling.

To save time searching for items, keep what you only need when traveling in one location. All you need to do is pick up travel-sized bottles of shampoo, shower gel, and toothpaste, along with a first aid kit, and pack it in your suitcase. Remember to verify the expiration dates on your prescription drugs!
 

Don't take too much

Read the hotel room description before you go; you may be able to leave your beach towel, shower gel, boilermaker, hair dryer, travel iron, and steamer at home.

Hostels, flats, and hotels all have laundry facilities, so you don't even need to bring an extra set of clothing every day.

Check all of your clothing pockets before packing your suitcase because keys and coins can accumulate there. These things can discolor or ruin materials in addition to adding weight.

Use samples, transfer products into tiny bottles, or bring travel-sized versions.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that, unless you plan on spending time on a desert island, you can purchase sunscreen, socks, T-shirts, and even an umbrella or towel locally.
 

Order everywhere

Stow the bulkiest, heaviest, and densest items—such as towels, coats, jeans, and jackets—at the bottom of the luggage.

Anything that can leak or discolor the contents of the suitcase (bottles, dyeable clothing, drawing crayons) should be wrapped in food film or placed in ziplock bags right away.


Place shoes along the walls, breaking them up into pairs and placing each shoe or boot inside its own bag; place light, soft objects in the middle; place fragile items in between. See our article "How to transport fragile things in luggage" for additional information on how to move breakable and fragile items.

To make a stiff frame, place books, guidebooks, or a beach bag on top.
 

How to do without an iron when traveling

Travelers with a lot of experience know a variety of tricks for packing clothing to prevent wrinkles. The most common method is to line the length of the bag with minimally folded clothing arranged neatly. Alternatively, you might dump everything into a single pile and roll each item over to create a massive "roll" of trousers and T-shirts. However, it is ideal to roll each component into a single, tightly wound roll.
 

Here's a tiny tip: after washing, add more rinse aid, or use a "liquid iron" once the items are dry to reduce wrinkles. The bag has unique dense tabs that serve as garment organizers. Although items within are secure, these structures require additional room in the luggage.
 

Small things are separate

It is recommended to keep chargers, batteries, flash drives, medications, hairpins, and jewelry in their own cosmetic bags. First, to save you time searching for them while staying at the hotel, and second, to prevent them from falling out when you open your bag.

Observe the jewelry you own. Don't pack the most valuable items in your luggage. It is preferable to store delicate earrings in specialized travel organizers or, at the very least, in a thick plastic cosmetic bag within a spectacle case. To prevent tangling or tearing, pass chains through a cocktail tube and secure them tightly.
 

Fill in all the empty spaces

The suitcase shouldn't be empty at all. Shoes, caskets, and boxes should be completely filled inside. First of all, valuable space is lost, and secondly, the object itself may get wrinkly and lose its form. Place small, delicate trinkets and glasses in the shoes' cases after softly wrapping them first.

Avoid creating gaps between objects. Fill in all the spaces with handkerchiefs, swimwear, socks, scarves, and other little items.

Belts and belts: Instead of rolling them up slowly, stack them along the walls of the suitcase's perimeter, unless you plan to wear them within the collar of your shirt.
 

What not to put in your luggage

The movers are not careless with items. It's possible for tablets, laptops, and cameras to break. Some airports have a high theft rate; arriving baggage are inspected by specialized technology in addition to being checked for security. As a result, avoid packing pricey jewelry and cash in your luggage.
 

Where to put the cosmetics

Put perfumes, deodorants, shampoos and other bottles in ziplock bags. If you have a fabric suitcase, put all cosmetics closer to the tight corners.

Try to take the bare minimum of cosmetics when traveling. And not just because of the weight. During the flight, they spoil from pressure and temperature differences - the luggage compartment is not heated.

 

Take a picture of your packed luggage

Once the luggage is packed, snap a photo of the exterior and the open interior. In the event that something occurs to the suitcase or that items disappear from it, this will be helpful to you when interacting with the airline. It will facilitate your ability to recall and explain what is absent.
