Many, packing a suitcase, face difficulties - what things to choose, how to pack them correctly, which suitcase is suitable for this. Here are 10 tips on how to choose the right suitcase and pack it.
General Tips
- Make a list. It sounds boring and corny, but it is he who will help you get together quickly and without unnecessary stress. Include essentials on your travel list and be realistic with luggage weight restrictions. This applies not only to travel by plane, an overweight suitcase will ruin the vacation from the very beginning.
- Leave some space in your suitcase. Most likely, you will want to bring something from the trip: souvenirs, gifts, unusual items for your hobby.
- The most necessary things on the road are from above. If you think that, for example, you will need a jacket already at the train station, put it so that you do not go through the entire suitcase, getting to it.
- Check the weather forecast. Forecasters make mistakes on a regular basis, but it's better than shoving your entire wardrobe into a suitcase just in case or getting cold after arrival.
- There is never too much linen. If you don't want to waste precious vacation time constantly washing and drying, bring more laundry.
What to take and what to remember
- Don't forget your first aid kit. There is no need to load medicines for all occasions - for ordinary tourism, drugs for diarrhea and indigestion, pain relievers, antipyretics and remedies used for injuries are enough. Bring medicines for coughs and runny nose, allergies, motion sickness, antibiotics and sunscreen if you are packing your suitcase at sea.
- Versatile footwear and clothing. How many times will you wear a trendy dress and stiletto heels packed in a suitcase? First of all, put on comfortable clothes and shoes in a versatile style, suitable for both daytime walks and parties. Do not forget a swimsuit - you need it not only at sea, but also when visiting pools, SPA, and many cosmetic procedures.
- A minimum of cosmetics. If you are not planning a trip to a desert island, then shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste can be purchased almost anywhere in the world. A minimum of cosmetics means a minimum of the risk that upon arrival you will find things filled with a sticky mass. You can take mini packs or samples.
- Be prepared that you will have to take a fairly heavy carry-on luggage with you on vacation. Put your valuables in it, add a set of linen in case your luggage gets lost.
- Most often, important little things are forgotten: phone or laptop chargers, trouser belt, sunglasses. A list will help you here too.
These are the main tips to keep in mind and follow so that your vacation doesn't turn into a disaster.
