1. Choose the Right Bag

2. Plan and Prioritize – To Do List

  • Essential Items Only: Make a list of essential items and prioritize them. Leave non-essential items at home or pack them in your checked luggage.
  • Multi-Use Items: Choose items that can serve multiple purposes. For example, a scarf can be used as a blanket, a fashion accessory, and a pillow.

3. Clothing Strategies

  • Layer and Wear Bulky Items: Wear your heaviest clothing items, like jackets and boots, on the plane to save space and weight in your carry-on.
  • Pack Light Clothing: Choose lightweight, quick-dry clothing that can be layered. Opt for versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched.
  • Take Jacket / Coat in Hand: Do not pack over heavy Jackets, coast or overcoat in your suitcase. Take them in hand instead to save on total weight in your carry-on luggage

  • Compression Bags: Use compression bags for clothes to reduce bulk and fit more into your carry-on.
  • Fill Every Space: Use every bit of space in your bag, including shoes and inside pockets, for small items.
