Method 1: Use portable or medium luggage.
1, a 22-inch (56 cm) suitcase should be enough to hold clothes for a week. If you travel in summer, your clothes are lighter and you don't need to wear so much. You can handle it with your hand luggage. However, you may have to bring a bigger suitcase when you travel in winter, because winter clothes are heavier and you have to wear multiple layers of clothes. If you travel in winter 1 week, you can bring a medium suitcase of 24-27 inches (60-69 cm). The inner space of soft-shell suitcases is more flexible, especially if you plan to buy some souvenirs, they can hold more things.
If you want more protection, choose a hard-shell suitcase.
Most airlines allow 22-inch suitcases on domestic flights, but the carry-on suitcases on international flights should not exceed 265,438+0 inches (53 cm). But in China, luggage over 20 inches must be checked on both domestic and international flights.
When we say luggage size, we usually mean height. For example, a 22-inch suitcase is usually 22 inches (56 cm) high x 14 inches (35.5 cm) wide x9 inches (23 cm) thick.
Method 2: Plan to wear your packed clothes again and again.
1. Pack 5 tops and 2-3 bottoms for a 7-day trip. Take at least one coat or jacket, and if the destination is cold, you can take more. Then, look at the activities you plan to carry out. If you want to go out for a date or attend a formal event in the evening, you can bring a beautiful shirt or dress and formal shoes. The following is an example of the list of clothes you need to take for a week's trip: up to 5 pieces.
2-3 pieces of trousers, shorts or skirts.
1-2 pieces of formal clothes
1 coat or jacket (clothes can be added in cold weather)
1 pair of sports shoes
1 a pair of more formal shoes
1 Double flip-flops or sandals (suitable for beaches and warm weather)
1 swimsuit
1 set of sportswear (if you are a fitness freak, you can bring more sets)
1-2 sets of pajamas
5 to 7 pairs of socks
5-7 sets of underwear
Accessories (scarves, gloves, hats, jewelry)
Method 3: Select the basic items that can be mixed and matched.
1, choose clothes of the same color. Create a minimalist way of wearing the same color, and choose black, white, gray and dark blue clothes. After that, you can use accessories such as scarves or hats to add eye-catching colors and make yourself look less monotonous. For example, you can bring a pair of black pants or dark jeans, a white T-shirt and a denim jacket.
Method 4: Reduce the luggage packing list.
1, to distinguish between "must bring" items and "may or may not bring" items. Spread all the clothes out on the floor or bed. Imagine which clothes fit well and which look impractical. When all the clothes are spread out together, you may find that a coat doesn't match all the pants, or the wide-brimmed straw hat can't be worn for several times at all, so there is no need to bring it. Some "take it or leave it" projects are still very important. For example, if it is likely to rain at the destination, don't omit the raincoat and umbrella.
Method 5: Use the storage bag.
1, storage bags help organize your clothes and reduce the space occupied by items. You can use these portable zipper bags to separate your belongings. For example, socks and underwear can be put in the same storage bag, and swimsuits can be put in another storage bag. Fold the storage bags in the suitcase and make full use of every inch of space! Put all the cell phone chargers and wires in the storage bag, so you can find them easily.
Method 6: Roll up the light clothes.
1. Roll up T-shirts and lightweight clothes to improve packaging efficiency. It is faster to roll clothes into a tube than to fold them. The rolled clothes are lighter and take up less space. Fold the sleeves of clothes and thin coats inward, then fold the whole dress in half and roll it up like a burrito. This method is most suitable for clothes made of synthetic fibers such as polyester and spandex, and will not wrinkle as easily as natural fibers such as cotton and hemp.
Fold heavy clothes and coats, especially wool products.
Clothes that are easy to wrinkle should also be folded, not rolled up, such as dress shirts and linen clothes.
Combine the two methods of rolling clothes and storing bags. You can even put the rolled clothes in the storage bag to save more space.
Method 7: Stuff small items into spare shoes.
1, put socks, underwear and even sunglasses in your shoes. This method not only saves space, but also protects fragile items. For example, you have a lot of small items such as coins or chargers, which can be put in plastic bags and stuffed into shoes.
Method 8: Cover your shoes with a shower cap.
1, this packing tip can prevent clothes from getting dirty by dirty shoes. Take a hotel shower cap and put the sole into it. If you don't have a shower cap, you can use a shopping bag. Now the shoes are wrapped separately. You can put them together with their heads facing the heels and soles facing each other. This is the most effective way to install shoes!
Method 9: press the heaviest item at the bottom.
1, the correct packing order can save space and keep the luggage balanced. Place heavy objects near the bottom of the wheel to prevent the suitcase from tipping over due to top-heaviness. Heavy objects include shoes and folded thick coats and trousers. After that, other items can be stacked horizontally, and the rolled clothes are pressed on the heavy objects first. Finally, put clothes that wrinkle easily on it, preferably in a dry cleaning bag or laundry bag for protection.
Method 10: Wear the heaviest clothes.
1. If you want to fly, you can put on the heaviest clothes and boots. Don't waste space by stuffing heavy jackets and shoes into the suitcase. Wearing more layers can help you keep warm on the plane and save a lot of luggage space. If the plane is a little hot, take off your coat and roll it up as a pillow. If you want to explore outdoors, you can wear heavy hiking shoes on the plane.
Method 1 1: Put the toiletries and toiletries together.
1, put all toiletries together in a transparent bag. The toiletries are packed separately, so it is more convenient to take them out when you go through customs with your carry-on suitcase. The capacity of each toiletry shall not exceed 100 ml. Even if you choose to check your luggage, you should put your toiletries in transparent plastic bags to prevent them from leaking out and soiling your clothes during the trip. If you travel frequently, you might as well buy an empty bottle that can be refilled by yourself. You don't have to buy shampoo and other toiletries every time.
Want to go light? The hotel may provide shampoo, conditioner and soap, so you don't have to bring your own.
The hair dryer in the hotel is one of the dirtiest things in the room. Consider letting your hair dry naturally, or bring your own small portable hair dryer.
Method 12: only bring necessary electronic equipment.
1. Reduce the number of electronic devices carried and pack them safely. It is safest to put electronic equipment in a padded laptop bag. If you don't have a computer bag, you can use clothes, bubble paper or a group of newspapers to protect electronic devices. Fold the wires neatly and tie them with a rubber band or tie to prevent them from getting entangled. Consider taking photos with mobile phones instead of bulky cameras, and reduce the number of electronic devices and wires.
See if you can upload all the e-books to your laptop, tablet or mobile phone, so you don't have to bring an e-book reader and its charger.
You can use a bubble envelope as a temporary case for your laptop.
If you want to travel abroad, remember to bring a plug adapter suitable for the destination country.
Equipment using lithium-ion batteries must be carried on the machine and cannot be inspected, because such batteries are very flammable.
Method 13: Take some snacks to eat on the trip.
1, bring your own snacks to save money. Traveling on an empty stomach is not easy at all. Solid food can pass the airport security check, but it needs to be packaged like electronic equipment so that security personnel can take it out for inspection. Prepare several bags of fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples and carrots as healthy snacks. To increase protein's intake, you can prepare boiled eggs or a little nuts and beef jerky. If necessary, you can buy some cereal bars to eat on the way. Take an empty reusable water bottle. After the airport security check, find a water dispenser to fill up the water.
Choose a water bottle with a carabiner or handle, so that it can be buckled outside the backpack and won't take up space with luggage.
