Packing and Luggage Tips You Need to Know While Traveling
Packing is a pivotal part of traveling. It's essential to get it right to ensure that you aren't disappointed when you reach your destination, only to realize that your forget something and having to scramble to the store first thing. 

Similarly, packing too much stuff will result in disorganized bags and pricey airline baggage fees.

 
Here are some packing tips to help you enjoy your trip without stressing about luggage:

Check Out the Airline's Baggage Policy

This is the most basic rule of traveling. The first thing you must do before reserving your flight is to find out the airline’s baggage allowance and read up on the excess baggage policy. 

This will help you stay within limits and be prepared in case your bags are above the threshold.

Make a List of Essential Items

A packing list might seem trivial, but it can make a big difference when it comes to preparing luggage. Start making the list and getting things ready at least a week before your flight. 

This will give you plenty of time to research the things you’ll need and purchase any items that you don't have. It’s also a great way to make sure you don't forget important items such as your cell phone charger, toothbrush, or clean underwear.

Roll Don't Fold

There are all kinds of packing tips available on the internet that can help travelers organize their luggage. One of the best and most effective tips is the "roll not fold" trick. Folding clothes not only causes more wrinkles, but also takes up a lot more space. Instead, you can tightly roll your clothes to fit more of them in the same space.

Spill-Proof Everything

It’s happened to the best of us. You open your suitcase or carry-on, only to find an explosion of shampoo or other liquid all over your things. 

While you can't forgo liquid items altogether, make sure you spill-proof everything by either covering the tops with plastic or putting everything that can spill into a Ziploc bag. 

You can also get solid shampoos and soaps to reduce the risk of spills.

Be Ready For Layovers and Delays

Layovers and delays are inevitable when traveling, especially on international flights. To avoid getting stuck in the airport while having to lug around a heavy carry-on, though, make sure you only keep essential items handy. You can also check out the luggage storage facilities and check your bags in to enjoy layovers freely.
