Pack like a pro
Carry-on luggage may not exceed 50 x 40 x 23 centimeters in size or weight more than 8 kilograms. If you pack carefully, stowing everything correctly, you’ll be able to board faster – and so will everyone else. Here are ten tips.
1 Roll up clothes
You'll fit more pants and T-shirts into your case if you roll them up instead of folding them.
2 Use every bit of space
Shoes are a great place to stow socks and other small items such as charging cables.
3 Perimeter plan
If you lay your belt around the inside of your case, it stays flat and takes up less space.
4 Compact concept
Mesh packing cubes let you see what's inside, while keeping everything tightly packed.
5 Cosmetics at a glance
Refill creams and fluids into 100 ml bottles and stow in a transparent vanity bag.
6 Let the air out
Save space by placing your clothing in a sealable plastic bag and squeezing all the air out.
7 Space hogs
Wear one pair of shoes, tuck the other into a corner of the case and you're all set! Two pairs is plenty.
8 Make bundles
This is a great way to avoid creasing. Just wrap shirts and trousers around socks and T-shirts.
9 Current idea
Take along a multicharger cable for all your devices to save on weight and avoid tangled cables.
10 Light as a feather
A lightweight down jacket that squashes well is ideal if you're packing for cold weather.
