If you are one of those people who dread packing and are always paying extra at the airport for excess luggage then you need to read our packing tips below. Not only are they designed to save you space in your suit case but also to make the whole process a lot easier and quicker.

We have all done it before, packed 10 outfits and only worn 3. Don’t make the same mistake time and time again, lay all your clothes out and be ruthless only taking half of what you actually want to.

If you are planning on bring souvenirs back then be sure to leave enough room in your suitcase or be prepared to have to pay for extra luggage on your return flight home.

One tip that really can shrink the space needed for your clothes are to vacuum pack them. The bags are very cheap and can more than half the space needed, just remember you will need to be able to do the same on the way back.
