Plan Your Outfits and Itinerary Wisely

Over-packing is a problem many of us have, especially when we have to fit everything we need into a tiny suitcase. Thinking critically about what clothing to pack can make a big difference. “Plan your outfits ahead so that you wear your bulkiest clothes on your travel days,” suggested Emily Van Houdt, a management consultant at Accenture.

Keep Your Clothes Smelling Fresh Your Entire Trip

Once a vacation is over, you usually throw your suitcase in the back of a closet until the next time you travel. This can leave your packed clothes smelling a little off, even if you use fragrant detergent.

“I always put a laundry dryer sheet in my suitcase so my clothes always smell great instead of that odd suitcase smell,” stated a flight attendant named Laury Rodriguez.

Separate Your Shoes To Keep Your Clothes Spotless

Packing everything into a small space can get pretty messy. Dirty shoes and clean clothes don’t really mix, but there is an easy solution to this problem.

“If you place your shoes inside a shower cap, it keeps your suitcase clean,” suggested a former flight attendant named Melly Mel.
