Quality Over Price

The most obvious way to save money is to buy an affordable suitcase, but it doesn’t necessarily work. You have to find a perfect balance between quality and price because you’ll just end up wasting money if you buy a cheap suitcase that won’t last you for at least a few years.

Right Dimensions

Pay extra close attention to the dimensions of the suitcase that you want to buy. You’ll avoid paying unnecessary baggage fees by making sure that the dimensions of your suitcase stick to the rules of most airlines, which is especially tricky in terms of a carry-on.

Lower Weight

You can also avoid unnecessary baggage fees by making sure your suitcase is as light as possible. Hard-shell suitcases are usually heavier than soft-shell ones, so they’re best avoided if you struggle traveling light and have a habit of overpacking.

Not Checking the Rules

Each airline has its own rules when it comes to baggage allowance. Some allow carry-ons, others don’t, and the dimension of your suitcase range from one air company to the next. Make sure to check all the rules before packing, so you wouldn’t pay extra because your suitcase isn’t the right size.

Not Traveling Light

If you’re a frequent traveler, it’s time to learn to pack all you need inside a carry-on, especially when it comes to shorter trips. Wash your laundry as you go along, plan your outfits so you wouldn’t overpack, and only bring things you truly need. By doing so, you’ll avoid paying unnecessary baggage fees.

Prohibited Items

Even if you avoid baggage fees by packing light, you can still lose some money by not checking which items are allowed in your carry-on. You may have to throw away some of your belongings if they don’t pass a security check, so make sure to only pack items that fit the requirements.

Pack Versatile Clothes

Planning your outfits ahead of time is a great trick that’ll help you pack smarter and save space in the suitcase. It’s best to pack versatile clothes in neutral colors that you can easily mix and match, because that means you can bring fewer clothes with you and pack light.

Wear Bulky Items

Bulky footwear and clothes such as jackets or blazers will take up a lot of space in your suitcase. That’s why it’s best to wear these items on the plane and save some space in the luggage.

The post Expert Tips For Saving Space in Your Suitcase appeared first on Traveler Dreams.

For those of us who have had to travel the world for our work, packing for business travel is always a complex task. 

On the one hand, one has to bring formal clothes, shoes and more—and on the other hand, in many cases such trips require moving from place to place, so it is best not to pack too many things.

On any business trip, you should find out how many sets of clothes you should pack, and choose clothing items that can be used in a modular way. Make sure you have enough clean shirts packed, and find out in advance whether you will be required to attend formal dinners or parties, which will require an additional set of clothes.

Bring dressy shoes, but also ones that will be comfortable to wear all day.

Make sure you have a fresh pair of socks and a clean shirt in your side bag in case you need to get to a meeting straight from the plane.

The post What To Pack For A Business Trip? appeared first on Traveler Dreams.

Choose two sets of clothes for each day (morning and evening). Remember that usually some of the clothes you packed for the holiday turns out to be unnecessary. Choose a pair of comfortable shoes for walking and a more elegant pair for going out in the evening. It’s recommended to choose shoes in neutral colors such as black, white, or beige that will suit all clothes. Another tip regarding shoes is that they can be used as storage space in a suitcase for jewelry, socks, a cellphone charger, and other small things. Also, make sure you pack the shoes in bags.

Think about how many pairs of socks, underwear, and bras you will need during your vacation. Once you have decided on the quantity, put them in a cloth bag that will separate them from the rest of the clothes and equipment.

When it comes to deciding if you should roll or fold your clothes, we tend to roll instead of fold. Proper rolling will save you space in a suitcase and it prevents clothes from creasing.

Compare Prices

It’s possible to find extremely cheap plane prices if you opt for budget airlines, but there’s a catch. Checked-in luggage comes with extra fees, and your ticket may be more expensive than you anticipated, so check the prices of “regular” airlines before booking your flight.

Right Measurements

Here’s another tricky part – different airlines may have different rules when it comes to luggage size. This especially applies to carry-ons, so make sure to check their requirements and pick the suitcase with the right measurements.

Packing Light

Speaking of carry-ons – traveling with one is the easiest way to save some cash. They’re usually included in the price, or cost the least, so master the art of traveling light by planning your outfits beforehand and doing laundry along the way during shorter trips.
