Packing Essentials: Size Matters

It’s important to check your airline’s rules for bags you bring on the plane, called carry-on luggage, right after booking your flight. Not all airlines let you bring the same size bags. Amazon has many carry-on bags that airlines allow. This makes shopping easy and means your bag will fit on the plane.

Personal Items: Travel Light, Travel Smart

If you want a smooth weekend trip, take only things that fit in an overhead storage bag and one small bag like a backpack. Pick a bag that makes things easy, whether it’s a soft bag that goes under the seat or a backpack with lots of pockets so you can get what you need.

Make a List, Check It Twice: Avoid Packing Mishaps

Don’t forget things at home by making a list of what to bring. Make the list for your whole day. Write the list on paper, in a computer program like Excel, or in notes on your phone. Being organized saves time and keeps you from having to pack socks in a hurry.

Weather Wonders: Pack Accordingly

Always check the weather on TV or online for where you are going so you can pack smart things. The weather can be very different, so don’t think it will be the same as where you left from. Take an umbrella, light coat, or flip-flops so you are ready if it is not what you thought when you get there.

The Travel Pillow Hack: Comfort in the Skies

Travel bloggers share a secret for using neck pillows in a different way. You can blow up your pillow and put clothes inside to wear it like a bag. This lets you rest your neck on the plane ride. It also saves room in your regular bag since the pillow doubles as a bag. Your clothes will be safe and easy to carry in the pillow bag around your neck or on your lap.

Mastering the Art of Clothes Folding: Maximizing Space Efficiency
