3. Organize your belongings
Remember that bulkier and heavier items (jackets, sweatshirts, pants, …) should be accommodated first, with as few folds as possible. Lighter clothes (t-shirts, blouses, shirts, shorts, …) will be placed next, leaving the shirts to last to prevent them from crumpling. Have you ever tried making rolls with your clothes? It could be a good solution! The corners of the travel bag can be used for extra shoes (if needed and always in a separate bag) and for smaller clothes and accessories.
Toiletries, make-up and medicines should be separated and well packaged in individual bags or necessaires. Depending on the time you are traveling, it may be better to buy some items at your destination. If you only travel with a cabin bag, remember that liquids must be transported in containers with a capacity of 100ml and always at hand!
If you can travel with a backpack in addition to your hold baggage, you can use it to carry the necessary travel documentation and the most fragile or valuable items!
