Have you ever wondered how some travelers are always on point with their baggage? They seem to carry so many items into their bag, but never get booked for extra luggage when they travel?
If you’re always on a trip, you have to find a way around how you can pack your stuff to make the most of your bag space.
We have come up with a couple of tips that will better help you pack your stuff, so you don’t have to worry about your bag weighing above the stipulated luggage limit.
Get it rolled, but don’t fold
Apart from the fact that clothes that are rolled are less likely to get rumpled, most travel enthusiasts will tell you that rolling clothes is one way to utilize space in your bag. This is why you see many travelers able to stock up their famous Briggs & Riley luggage so seamlessly.
Pack Ahead of your Trip
It’s wise not to wait till the penultimate night of your trip to start packing your stuff. The likelihood of forgetting some items behind becomes incredibly high. So it’s advisable that weeks before your journey, you start packing all you need to make your trip memorable.
Know what your airline Charges for Baggage
You don’t want to get to the airport beautifully adorned with your and Briggs & Riley luggage only to be told you have extra baggage. This would force you to pay extra. To avoid this, ensure you enquire from your airline what their baggage- fee policy is. Precisely, this should be a prerequisite in your choosing an airline.
Make the best of personal items allocation
Most airlines allow passengers to bring a carry-on and a personal item. Personal items are often subject to specific size requirement as you would expect. Depending on the airline, stuff likes a laptop bag, purse, and other small personal effects are generally allowed.
So instead of just sticking to purse and things that weigh almost nothing, you could better use the size recommended for personal items to purchase a large tote bag. This hack would afford you a larger space. This way, things that are very important to you are stuffed into it and placed under your seat.
Essential Items must be with you
Never make the mistake of checking in personal items or stuff that is indispensable to you. It’s no news that baggage gets missing in transit all the time. If you made a wedding gown purchase for instance and you are traveling with it to make a delivery or wear it yourself, checking that in will be too risky. Therefore, some items have to be in your carry-bag.
In Conclusion
You must make the most of your packing, as any mistake in this regard can leave you disorganized. You don’t want to arrive at your destination and find out you left something fundamental to you behind.
That’s why you need to dedicate ample time to pack so that you can plan well ahead. Make sure you use a packing aid as well so your clothes occupy less space.
