Packing Tips for Lighter Travel
- Roll, don't fold: Rolling clothes saves 30% space and reduces wrinkles
- Choose a color palette: Pick 3-4 colors so everything mixes and matches
- Wear the bulkiest items: Boots, jacket, and jeans go on the plane, not in the bag
- 1-2-3-4-5-6 rule: For a week: 1 hat, 2 pairs of shoes, 3 bottoms, 4 tops, 5 pairs of socks, 6 underwear
- Packing cubes: Compress clothes and keep bag organized
- Toiletry bags: Use TSA-approved clear bags (3.4oz/100ml max for carry-on)
- Leave room: Pack at 80% capacity — you'll buy souvenirs
Carry-On vs Checked Bag
- Carry-on only: Saves baggage fees ($30-60), no lost luggage risk, faster at airport
- Checked bag: Needed for liquids over 100ml, sharp items, trips over 10 days
- Always carry on: Medications, passport, electronics, 1 change of clothes, valuables
