It doesn’t matter if you are packing for a long or short trip, for business or pleasure, a time-saving way to start is to make and use a list. Using a list makes it easy to check off all the items to make sure nothing is left behind and that all items are absolutely necessary. Take the list with you in your luggage as a handy guide to remember things when packing.
When choosing clothes to pack, mixing and matching clothes saves space and tends to reduce the number of outfits actually needed. If possible, choose one or two pairs of shoes that go with most outfits.
Another important rule is: don’t be fooled by the countless travel gadgets out there. Not only do many of these not perform well, they also take up space. A simple rule to consider is if it’s not a smaller version of something you absolutely can’t live without when you’re on the go, don’t pack it. However, one travel item that is of utmost importance is clear and unique luggage tags. A unique tag makes it easier to identify your luggage on crowded, fast-moving carousels when you’re tired after a long flight.
Scanning important data such as passports, ID photos, paper tickets and other travel documents to an email account such as Yahoo or Hotmail can be very convenient and easily accessible should the need arise. It is also helpful to provide the numbers to report loss for cell phones, credit cards, travel checks, and your travel insurance policy. Divide these items among the bags when packing and do not put all of them, especially cash, in your hand luggage.
Packing clothes in easy-to-open plastic bags organized by outfit or item such as socks, underwear, etc. optimizes space and provides convenience for baggage inspection. If you are traveling with others, distribute one packed outfit for each person under the bags of your traveling companions to prevent accidents at the arrival of the luggage. Plastic bags should be used for personal care items, packaged in small, regular sized containers and clearly labeled. Buying many of these items in travel size saves inspection time and valuable space.
Travel and health insurance is definitely a must-have item. Some companies include medical coverage with travel insurance to provide emergency medical care, doctor consultation, treatment and access to prescription medications. Travel insurance also offers protection against loss of tickets, flight delays and possible accidents on board public transport. Make sure you find the most acceptable coverage needed for your requirements and have a great journey.
