Taking a trip soon? Follow our bag packing expert’s tips to make sure all your items are available, organized, and ready so you can enjoy a worry-free getaway!

1.  Make a list of all the things you need and lay items out.
2.  Fold and roll items to save the most space in a suitcase.
3.  Place rolled items into packing cubes to strategically pack items.
4.  Organize packing cubes as you see fit. Keep outfits separate, or pack by outfit or items.
5.  Now you have extra space in your day bag for items you want on hand, like a sweatshirt, poncho, travel journal, and hair supplies.
6.  Pack liquid items into a 3-1-1 bag for an easier experience with TSA at the airport. “3-1-1” is the TSA rule for bringing liquids on board a plane. Each passenger may carry liquids, gels and aerosols in travel-size containers that are 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters. Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols. 

PRO TIPS:

• Leave the hairdryer at home. Most hotel rooms have hair dryers.
• Find your luggage faster when checking your bags with unique, colorful tags.
