Tips for a hassle-free luggage experience

Packing tips and organizational strategies

Make a packing list: Make a list of essentials to help you stay organized and not forget anything important.

Roll your clothes: Instead of folding your clothes, roll them to save space and prevent wrinkles.

Use packing cubes or compression bags: Use packing cubes or compression bags to maximize space and keep your items organized.

Separate liquids and toiletries: To comply with TSA requirements and prevent leakage that could damage your other belongings, place liquids in a clear, sealed bag.

Pack for your destination: When packing, consider the weather, activities and cultural norms of your trip to ensure appropriate clothing and supplies.

Baggage marking and security

Use long-lasting luggage tags: Attach a clear tag to each suitcase with contact information for easy identification.

Adding an ID tag: Place an ID tag with your name and contact information in your luggage in case the external tag is damaged or removed.

Secure your belongings: TSA-approved locks can protect your valuables while allowing airport security to access them if needed.

Smart packaging techniques

Pack efficiently: To maximize available space, roll clothes, use packing cubes and fill empty spaces in shoes.

Plan your outfit ahead of time: To minimize changes, coordinate your outfit choices and choose flexible pieces that can be mixed and matched.

Consider laundry options: If your trip is longer, check out a laundromat or bring some detergent with you.

Upgrade your personal item: Take advantage of the personal item allowance by taking essentials such as gadgets, travel documents and a change of clothes in a small bag or purse.
