Or why not simply customize your trip according to your own needs and do all the bookings on your own.

These tips will help you to pack smart for your next trip:

• Roll it, don’t fold it

Instead of folding clothes, roll them. Stuff socks, underwear, and accessories inside of shoes. Don’t leave a bit of space unused.

• Pack it light and right for convenience

Pack all necessities and avoid carrying anything in excess. This way you can cut down your luggage in half and twice the money. And isn’t it good to shop for more?

So, carry with the minimum baggage and, shop once you reach the destination.

• Carry earplugs and a sleep mask

These accessories are handy and you can take them anywhere be it on the plane, train, or to your hotel room.

• Take help of packing cubes

If you’re traveling to different places at one go, making compartments will help you a lot. They will keep everything organized and save you a lot of time from packing and unpacking.

•  Share and care

Traveling with your partner? Then you can split your luggage between two suitcases.  This will reduce the weight and can also help in the worst case scenario i.e if one of the bags get lost during the flight.

•    Carry small packs of daily needs

It is wise to carry small travel-sized shampoos, toothpaste, shower gel, etc while traveling. This is the smart way to pack your bag for your trip.

•    Make photocopies of your passport

If you’re traveling out of the country, make photocopies of your passport. You can use your phone to take pictures of everything including luggage, passport, or traveling car. In case something gets lost, it will be helpful.

Why carry a large laptop when you can downsize and just carry a tablet? Also, you can share things with your partner instead of carrying two. This way you won’t waste your vacations on just handling luggage all the time. With small luggage, you can also make your trip cheaper by using various hotel deals, travel reward points, or loyalty reward points.
