Luggage Tips For Air Travel
The Guide to Lightening the Travel Load
Traveling with light luggage has been a common rule known to
many travelers. It is a very common, and simple, guide yet it
still remains as the most violated one. Didn't they say that the
simplest rules are the ones hardest to follow?
Surely, one has to pack everything that is needed for the trip.
Never leave anything that is definitely going to be used during
the trip. For over-anticipating possibilities during a trip, the
luggage may end as a heavy burden for a short trip.
Here are guidelines to determine what to bring for those trips:
1. Consider the number of days for the trip.
If the trip will be within one to three days, all the things
that a traveler may need could fit in hand-carried luggage.
Decide on the number of clothes needed and add another set, in
case of accidents. More than that would just weigh down the
baggage unnecessarily. If, upon arriving, you determine that the
trip must be extended, you can always shop for clothes or have
the used ones washed and just mix-match these for a different
ensemble.
2. Determine the nature of the trip. What type of events will
one attend during the trip?
This will help in deciding what type of clothes to bring. If one
barely have time to run or exercise in the morning, then, it
will be
unnecessary to bring running shoes. If there is barely
time for social gatherings, then leave the formal evening
outfits at home.
If unsure of the schedule during the trip, then choose clothes
that may be worn for casual and formal meetings and even formal
dinner parties.
3. When packing, roll the clothes carefully to maximize the
space of the suitcase. Place the heavier garments on the lower
part of the suitcase to balance its weight. The smaller
garments, such as the socks, should be placed to fill the spaces
between the larger clothes.
4. If during the trip, you accumulated souvenirs, it is cheaper
to have those shipped home instead of bringing them together
with the luggage. If these are fragile, make sure that these are
insured. Another option is to have some clothes shipped home
instead, and pack the souvenirs with the luggage or in the
hand-carried bag.
These tips will definitely ease one's worries when preparing for
the next trip.
