🧳 How to Pack Wisely for Your Next Holiday

With baggage fees higher than ever, smart packing is essential. Many people find packing stressful, and airline rules have only made it tougher. Always check your allowance before you travel—pleading ignorance won’t work at the gate.

Here are three ways to make packing easier.

📝 Make a list
Last minute stuffing leads to forgotten essentials. Write a list a few days in advance. Think about the weather and activities at your destination. Choose versatile, comfortable clothes and avoid new shoes that might rub. Don’t forget sunscreen, chargers, and an adapter if you’re going abroad.

🛏️ Lay everything out
Place all your items on the bed before packing. This helps you spot anything missing and shows how much you’re really taking. About a quarter of what people pack never gets used, so cut what you don’t need.

⏳ Take your time
Whether you roll or fold, pack with care. Start by putting underwear and socks inside your shoes. Lay shoes top to toe at the bottom, surround them with trousers, shirts and towels, then put bulkier items like jumpers on top.

A little planning means less stress and fewer fees. If you know someone who hates packing, share these tips with them.
