Do you think you know how to pack?

Packing for a trip is easy when you plan ahead by following the tips given below. Remember to pack according to the weather, location and activities planned. Be sure to include toiletries, medications and valuables such as jewellery in a separate travelling case which you can stow away in an overhead cabin. Over-packing will leave less room in your suitcase for purchasing gifts and souvenirs.

  1. Put large or heavy clothing at the bottom. always put heavier or larger items at the bottom of the suitcase.
  2. Pack several lightweight layers. this will work well for both hot and cold weather.
  3. Choose between rolling and folding your clothing. If you need more space in your suitcase and are not worried about the weight, roll your clothes. If you do not need as much space and want to keep the weight down, fold your clothes.
  4. Use the inside of your shoes as storage space. Stuff your socks inside your shoes if there is no other room for them.
  5. Pack fragile items in the centre of your case.
  6. Place dress shirts and other formal items on top. Put dress shirts on top so that you can remove them easily for hanging and ironing.
  7. Put shoes in plastic bag. You can use grocery bag or a shower cap.
  8. Use creases and gaps to place underwear. Fit the underwear and socks down the sides once the case is full.
