A group of flight attendants have revealed their top vacation packing tips, explaining why clothes shouldn’t be folded. Here are some of the highlights of what you should be doing when it comes to packing for your favorite destination…
Make a list
Professionals recommended to jot down a list of things you will need throughout the trip. Not only will this reduce the risk of leaving essentials behind but will also help you save crucial time packing.
Don’t fold your clothes
Folding your garments seems only natural – but, according to the cabin crew members, it’s a big mistake when packing for a vacation. Instead, they suggested rolling the clothing tightly – this will make them more compact and give you extra space in the bag.
Versatile is a must
There’s no denying that in all the hurry it’s tempting to throw just about everything hanging in your wardrobe. But unless you’re willing to spend extra money to upgrade for a larger bag or pay a fee at the airport, it’s best to pack only the very essentials and garments that can easily be dressed either up or down and will cover a variety of situations.
Leave extra space
When sorting the bag, most of will pack it full to the brim. However, you should always leave some extra space. That way you’ll have room for a souvenir or two.
Wear the heaviest items
If you’re planning to go somewhere where the climate is not so warm and will need a jacket or a coat to keep you toasty, the crew insisted on wearing it on-board. This will both give you some extra space and will also help with the bag’s weight limit.
Don’t Overpack
Pack only what you intend to use throughout the trip and stick to the checklist.
Just a few suggestions to think about. However, in my opinion, the MOST IMPORTANT tip for traveling… Have fun, relax and enjoy every moment!! Happy travels.
