Packing Tips

Home / Travel Tips / Packing Tips

Some people will pack for a fortnight even if it is for a three-day weekend, while others just pack the bare essentials, and in most cases end up forgetting important stuff like medicine. To be well versed in traveler knowhow, follow these tips:

How to pack
If you usually pack your clothes by folding them like you do when you put them away in your cupboard, then it is a pointless task as it is bound to get crushed anyways. Here are a few other ways to get it right.

Roll them – This is a simple step. For a t-shirt, lay it down, fold the sleeves and then roll it up. You can do the same with pants and skirts.

Fold everything together – By rolling a few things together, you provide some kind of cushioning for each item of clothing, which means the likelihood of them being crushed is low.

Tissue paper – If you need to pack delicate and expensive clothes, then perhaps tissue paper might be a good idea. Put a piece of tissue on the item of clothing and then fold it up. Adding this layer of tissue paper will keep your good clothes crease-free.

Travelling by air
Put all your gel and liquid items in your main luggage. If you must carry some of them, ensure that they are 3 oz or less, and put them into a clear, zip lock bag – otherwise it is likely it could get confiscated by airport security personnel.
Ensure you know how many bags you are allowed to carry, their weight and size.

Stuffing your bag will lead to further difficulties when chosen for closer inspection. This could mean more creases and even lost items.
