PACKING TIPS-

Handbag luggage-

Prepare a list of all the essential documents you need to carry. Keep your passport, visa, tickets, prescriptions, and accommodation details in your check-in bag or hand-luggage. You need all these during your arrival and departure as well as in your immigration as you land in the country. Buy a travel pouch in case you want to carry some cash. Other items which are suggested to keep in the handbag are-

  • Laptop
  • Medicines
  • One set of garments to change
  • Few toiletries
  • Wallet
  • Documents

Keep it Light-

List and sort what you need so that you do not over-pack and your luggage does not become over-weight. Segregate and sort all your clothing according to the purpose. Keep your formals and routinely wear clothes separately.

Next, arrange all the clothes and check how much space they are occupying and they occupy more space then reduce some non-essential clothing. Travel as light as possible.

  • Wear one of your heavier jackets while you are boarding your plane to reduce the weight of the luggage.
  • Pack adequate winter wear if your destination is cold.
  • Sort your items as per the need of the hour so that it is easy to unpack as soon as you reach.
  • Pack a pair of garments in your hand-luggage if you will initially stay in a hotel or temporary accommodation.
  • Get your luggage ironed and vacuumed.
  • Buy a bag that is lightweight and convenient to carry.
  • Carry electronics like laptops in hand luggage so that they remain safe and by no chance they get damaged.
  • You can buy utensils and appliances from the country you are traveling to so that you do not carry extra weight.

Bon Voyage

Make a list of all the items you are carrying with you so that in case you lose your luggage, the airline can give you equal compensation.
