After all, what size is the suitcase?

Before you start separating any item, it is essential that you find the ideal travel bag for you. In this sense, there are different models and sizes available, and everything will depend on the occasion.

For example, if you are going on a long trip and are going to take more sensitive products, a more structured suitcase with wheels is the ideal option for you. But if the trip is more informal, a carry-on suitcase may be enough.

In fact, it is important to check with the airline about the weight and dimensions of the luggage that is authorized on your flight. This way you avoid experiencing any problems during your boarding.

What not to pack in your travel bag?

  • Flammable products;
  • Paints;
  • Fuels;
  • Alcoholic drinks with a strength greater than 70%.

Now that you know which suitcase you are going to take and what not to put in it, think carefully about your trip. Before you start sorting the clothes you're going to take, check the weather forecast for your destination.

This way, you guarantee that you will wear clothes accordingly, avoiding excess and unnecessary pieces. Check out some simple steps below on how to organize your travel bag and pack everything in a practical and effective way!

Make a list

First, make a list of all the items that are essential in your luggage. In fact, it's a good idea to start making your list in advance so you can add and remove what you need later.

Think about the tours and activities you will do during your trip, as well as the documents needed to board. Start thinking about personal hygiene objects, include accessories, number of pieces and even shoes.

This way, you will be able to separate items quickly and quickly, avoiding leaving anything behind when organizing your suitcase. But don't take anything out of the closet yet, okay? That part comes later!

Choose the right pieces

It may seem obvious, but many people end up taking clothes and accessories that don't make any sense on the trip! In fact, a good tip for not taking anything unnecessary is to only pack what you already use.

So, don't separate clothes that you like, but don't usually wear. Unless, of course, you are traveling for an event such as a wedding or business trip, for example.

Furthermore, think about pieces that you can combine and reuse on different days. It's worth bringing comfortable clothes and shoes to make the most of the tours and activities.

Separate from the outside

Now that you know everything you're going to take, in addition to the clothing items that go in your suitcase, it's time to separate the items. But don't rush to take everything out of your wardrobe and put it in your suitcase!

That's right, you should separate everything you're going to take outside before thinking about how you're going to organize the inside of your suitcase. This step is essential so that you can visualize all the items, avoiding leaving anything behind.

It is also important to separate personal hygiene products and, if you prefer, place them in toiletry bags or plastic bags. If possible, seal the lids of liquid items well to avoid disasters inside the suitcase.

Organize spaces

Finally, it's time to put everything in the suitcase and organize it to make strategic use of all the spaces! In fact, it is at this stage that you can cross items off your list as you place them in your luggage.

Although many places guarantee that rolling clothes is the best way to optimize space, this may not be the best strategy. In fact, folding items can increase their volume, as well as wrinkle the clothes.

One of the best ways to make use of space is by placing larger coats at the bottom of your suitcase. But open, without folding! Or, if possible, wear them! This way, they go on your body and not in your luggage.

Pants can also be stretched out as much as possible. Here it is worth taking advantage of any space, even the inside of shoes to leave socks, for example.

Check and identify

Well, with your suitcase organized, check if everything you need is inside it. Furthermore, if possible, take the opportunity to weigh your luggage and check that it complies with the company's rules.

Finally, close and identify your suitcase! If something is lost, it is important that your name and contact details are properly identified in the luggage. Also use ribbons to differentiate it from other bags.
