✈️ My Top Packing Tips ✈️

After years of travelling and helping clients plan their holidays, these are some of my favourite packing tips:

✔️ Put an AirTag in your suitcase so you can track your luggage if it goes astray.
✔️ Take an extension lead instead of multiple travel adapters. One adapter can charge several devices.
✔️ Save a digital copy of your passport on your phone.
✔️ Pack a bin bag for dirty laundry. It keeps worn clothes separate from clean ones.
✔️ Keep essential items in your hand luggage in case your suitcase is delayed.
✔️ Put all liquid toiletries in a clear plastic bag before you travel.
✔️ Wear your heaviest shoes at the airport to save valuable suitcase space.
✔️ Roll your clothes instead of folding them to fit more into your suitcase.
✔️ Use packing cubes to keep everything organised and make unpacking easier when you arrive.

A little preparation before you travel can save a lot of hassle when you’re away.
