Bernina 3 Piece Spinner Luggage Set
The number-one rule in arranging for a trip is to pack lightly since we habitually overlook how frequently we’ll have to pick up or carry our suitcase during our trips.
Think about dragging the luggage into the trunk of your car and out again, throughout the airport, off of the baggage carousel, through another airport if connecting, back into the trunk of your eventual rental car and out again until as a final point you get to the hotel where, with a bit of luck, you’ll find an available porter waiting for you!
On top of having to carry your bags around, the chosen airline has precise rules on the size, weight and the number of bags you can board, both carry-on and checked baggage. It is advisable to check the airline's website for up-to-date information on restrictions and not assume that what was allowed the last time it’s in force this time, in particular if you are travelling using a different airline company. Luggage size and weight restrictions can differ by airline or travel destination.

The following guidelines could help you in keeping your luggage light and leave sufficient room so you can pack souvenirs when going back home:
- Check to find out if the lodging place you are staying offers laundry service department or has facility that you can use. This is another major secret of packing lightly.
- Try to harmonize your outfits around a central color so you’ll be able to mix and match.
- Organize your attires so you can layer them as a replacement for lots of coats.
- Include a couple of solid color sweaters that will match any ensemble to keep you warm
- It is certainly a good idea to check the weather online before packing so you can pick the weather-appropriate clothing without misusing the space for things you won’t need (like an umbrella if the weather will be completely sunny!).
- Rolling your garments rather than folding them will help avoid wrinkles and optimize your restricted space.
- Buy small travel sizes of toiletries that will last just long enough instead of big bottles.
- Make the most out of your suitcase: pack underwear and socks inside your shoes. This will also facilitate your shoes in keeping their shape. For the same reason your belts will be placed around the edge of the luggage.
