Savvy travelers know that winter is a great time to take trips as it tends to be much more affordable. But if you’re not used to cold weather, it can be tough to experience it abroad, and packing during winter becomes much trickier as you have bulkier clothes to fit into the same size suitcase. Here are some tips that can help.
Use a Hard Suitcase
Traveling in winter means rain, snow, and moisture, and it can be a problem if your suitcase gets soaked and all of your clothes end up soggy. To avoid this problem, opt for a hard, water-proof suitcase for winter travel.
Don’t Forget About the Sun
Sunscreen and hats are a given when traveling during the summer months, but just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean that the sun can’t damage your skin. Don’t forget to wear sun protection even when traveling during the winter.
Layer Up
One of the best ways to avoid heavy luggage is to wear your heaviest layers on the plane. And it’ll do double duty by keeping you warm on those frigid flights. You can absolutely wear your hat and scarf onto the plane and keep your gloves in your pockets.
